    Has anyone painted their wheels without removing them from their truck? I don't have a jack or torque wrench.

    Yeah people have, you need to cover your brakes and behind your wheels pretty good as well as clean your wheels really good then figure out how to mask them off while they are on. I know some have done it I forget what page it was though.

    Hmm... That seems a lot easier! Last time I took each tire off one at a time and taped everything off including the tire! Does it really come off the tire that well?

    i want to do a fairly long design to test the waters before purchasing a decal for my dads business. what is the best way to do this? cutout? the letters themselves would take so long I can't imagine this is the best way. The design is simple, so that part won't be difficult.

    Awesome! They don't sell Plastidip around here so I ordered some. Hopefully it'll be here by this weekend so I can dip my bumpers, grille, and wheels!
