    Curious to know myself. I was considering Duplicolor for mine. I used Duplicolor trim on grille and fender flares. Looks good.

    Thats what I used i figured it was the same thing and gave it a try. I don't think you can tell a difference between plastic dip and this. I think it worked well and so far it has held up well.

    Where did you buy it? What colors were available? I'm looking for the anthracite gray, but I can only find lighter gray Plastidip.

    I believe the anthracite dip has to be ordered through companies like DipYourCar.com
    My local stores carry the basic colors like black, red, grey, and also the neon colors. But from phone calls I've made to a couple Home Depots, I would have to order any other color than the ones I've named.

    OP- I've seen a video comparing flexiDip to Plastidip and they came out the same. I guess the only distinction would be price? And the colors available to buy locally?

    I had it on the rims of my MazdaSpeed 3. I took it off a while back and it was a bitch. But take your time and put approximately 42,300 coats on. It'll look good after 4 but keep going. It's easier to remove the thicker it is.

    I would use the actually plastidip brand. I've done some things with it on/off my truck and seems to handle great. I'm getting ready to dip my while truck soon.

    The Rustoleum stuff works, it's just hard to remove. But from what I have read it's because I didn't apply enough coats.

    I plasti-dipped my wheels and my buddy used Rustoleum the only difference was like a dollar in price. Otherwise both are wheels look the same.
