    I had some spare time and spare plasti dip and got to painting. Any thoughts? I figure if it looked horrible, I could peel it off and call it even, but its kinda growing on me.

    No. Looks like you were too cheap to get a colour matched one at pick a part.

    Having done my 17 inch sport wheels many months ago, I will say this. It has held up perfect for 6000 miles. I did 3 coats, first light, then 2 heavy and have a good solid plastic layer on them. I powerwash them and it still looks good.

    As for another poster asking about the procedure, there really isn't much to it. Make sure to do the inside of the rim as well, and take your time. Tires should be off so you can see all angles and areas that may be a bit thinner.
