    The only problem with dip is that it fades

    As someone who has Plasti dipped many wheels, you have no clue what you’re talking about. Never had that issue.

    I recommend not making your wheels look like ass, then getting mad and calling everyone haters.

    No offense, but that's my recommendation to you. Less stressful and less time consuming plus a good look on your wheels depending on your taste. That's what I got on my stock wheels basically looks like yours but... umm... cleaner. (sorry...)

    However, I do applaud the effort in your project and suggest either a different method and/or product(s) to use next time.

    WRONG!

    It's your truck and you are happy with the results of your labor.

    That is really all that matters.

    Right?

    Seriously.

    It was more of an experiment with an enamel paint I’ve never used. I can always put the decal but one big matte piece cut to the size of the circle on the cap. Them have gloss TRD letters centered over the matte circle. That will stick forever.
