Icon3 DIY- PLASTI-DIP RIMS!

Bought some rims at a great price, but not my style to be plain.
So bought some Plasti-Dip.
Only $6 a can.
For those who DON'T know about Plasti-Dip
It peels off 100% without a trace left behind. GOOGLE it!
JDM YO!

interesting but looks good. never seen plasti-dip used this way. do you think it will hold up against the heat braking will produce?

google it, people use it in winter to keep rims clean/fresh. will stand up GREAT. then peels off w/ no residue at all.

pretty cool but what about road debris?? once its scratched can you do a touch up or do you have to peel it all off and start over?

best thing is you can change colors when ever you want....

Does it peel off easily or is it an all day affair pulling flakes off?
