    Like, so many.
    If I dip my wheels while leaving them mounted, what does that do to the wheel barrels? You just clean up overspray?

    Looks great, especially for a more permanent look. Are you happy with the choice vs. dipping? Seems to be advantages to either. Just curious, as I'm considering the options for mine. Anything but chrome!

    I recommend using duplicolor wheel paint over plasti dip. I dipped mine first and hated it, especially after getting new tires installed the guys scratched the dip everywhere. Wheel color paint holds better. I didn't cover anything and no problems.

    Nice, Seems super simple then... and no preliminary work to the already painted portions of the wheel?

    Has anyone plastidip the Trim inside the truck around the Steering wheel and Control clusters? My white Taco OR comes stock in orange and would like to black it out? Maybe Vinyl Wrap would be better?

    Either way, wouldn't some overspray get in the barrel?

    Is Duplicolor removable like Plasti dip? I assume not?

    Idk maybe. I haven't had any issues.

    No it's actual paint. Sand with 1000grit sand paper and then spray

    I took mine off and painted with paint. It was pretty easy so I'm sure dipping would be okay

    Yeah! I did mine in blue though but still kinda gives the idea. There's one place in the upper left where the paint kinda did something weird (pretty sure it's my fault because it was really hot out but hard to notice) but dipping probably wouldn't have that affect because of the way it dries.

    Thanks, Yeah does not look bad at all. I feel like I always have one spot that does not turn out quite as I intended.
