Plasti-dip sucks! After putting in a lot of time and effort to properly clean and paint the wheels, the stuff comes off to the touch. I can gently rub my finger across it and it will come off. I even did it a second time with the companies recommended "pre-dip" cleaner and bonding agent and the results were the same. I have to hand wash the car and avoid the wheels to keep it from coming off.
I am not sure what people are doing to get this stuff to stick to their cars, and maybe it's the finish on the Mazdaspeed wheels, but as far as I am concerned it's only good for testing out whether you like the color or not. Will be getting the wheels re-done with paint as soon as I get the time.
Thanks for the honest assessment. So you're gonna rattle can them in the same color? I know it's a good bit more expensive, but have you thought about powder coating them? I did that with a set of RX-8 rims and loved how they turned out. Helped that I got a bro deal...cost right at $200.
