    The best way I could think of doing that would be to pop off the center hub and go find the thinnest tape you could find. Put tape all on the tacoma emblem and then spray. just a thought

    I did 3 coats. I may try again this weekend. Maybe I was too rough with the peeling off process or just need to let it dry for a few hours.

    Maybe a few pieces of painters tape to cover it then cut the edges flush with the Toyota logo then when you're done spraying just pull up the tape?

    No need for a link... You quite literally place cards (I used index cards when I painted my wheels) in between the rim and the tire. Just stick them in there, forming a cone of sorts to keep the excess spray away from the tire.

    What did you use to get all the break dust off? Seems like that would be a challenge if you left them on the truck

    So then, being that you can peel off the plasti-dip... its not permanant? how long will it last until it beging to peel/flake off?

    If I'm looking for something permanent should I avoid this product?

    Here is the pic of the cards, i just placed a card over the rotors, behind the rim to cover and spray. If you actually do the surrounding part some cards will stick together and you can hold 2 at the same time. but here is the pic of just the cards around the rims.....
