    I did the same thing, loved it. Cheap quick and easy, just put it on really thick and with a bunch of coats.

    if you would have seen the gouging and curb rash that these had going on you would have given up the plastidip idea. I've used that stuff and works good when you have a solid surface to start with. one of the rims had rash around every edge of the lip. took them an hour on the cnc machine and 4 passes to get it back to a defined lip again. if you measure diameter that rim is missing 1/8 inch compared to the one in the pic that had almost no rash. that one was the spare.

    what do you use to clean rims? I found that my micro fiber rag can take like 30 minutes per rim and it doesn't even get into the small creveces that well. I just don't have time for that.

    Few sizes of soft brissle brushes, long cone shape to get the inner rim. 30 min sounds about right if I'm going into detail, I charge a LOT for dirty rims if they want them to look like day 1. Thick baked on break dust, just walk away, LOL.
