    how do you guys get a clean line with it? I was told remove the tape while its still wet but it didnt work... The clear coat is failing on the roof and wanted to cover it till I could find someone to paint it.

    I did my wheels yesterday for the second time. The first time I had a bridging issue between tire and lip of wheels, and when I peeled the overspray off the tire, it peeled it off the lip of the wheel as well. This time, I ran a razor knife around that interface after every 2 coats, very light pressure. No issues this time, curious to see how well they hold up. I did 5 light coats of black, took 3 cans, and then 3 light coats of the new graphite metalizer, 1 can. This metalizer looks to be like the glossifier in consistency, with some metal flakey stuff thrown in. It has the UV stabilizer in it, so I did not spray the glossifier. Pleased with the results, let me know what you guys think.

    that looks sweet!! im planning to dip my stocks for winter use (gotta buy&mount winter tires first)..id like to know how they hold up. when i peeled my front emblem to respray aluminum it was bonded really nice..then once i finally got it started..peeled easy.. seems to harden up nice over time..that was without glossifier too.. metalizer really makes those wheels!!

    Nice. I've got the same color truck and was wondering how the black will look on those wheels.I agree on the metalizer.

    Mine was fine for about 4 years before my truck was totaled. Kept the bumper on to spray. Just taped up some newspaper.
