WOW... after seeing the dodge thread this has every answer i need, i was worried about plasti dip sticking to chrome.
i found this video:
its vinyl wrapping using a heat gun but if people say plastic dip holds up ill try that instead. im going to spray my 20"s in october and take it off in april probably thats about 6 months depending on weather so we will see but plasti dip looks good.
If the Dodge peeps are reporting good result under pressure washing at a car wash, I wouldn't see what it wouldn't work well. If you do get a couple cans to do your rims, take 1 or 2 small trim pieces and try it out and see if it holds up. Sounds like it would all peel off it it didn't work well. I am seriously debating trying this on mine. Black on black is pure sex, lol.
I wouldent go through automatic carwashes, because that is what tore off a large piece on my rims. I went around chrome for about 2 weeks before I re did them, this time buying 4 cans to make sure I had extra. Here's some current pics with 15% window tint.
Thats my picasa gallery with more pics of the rims etc.
Edit: You should be fine washing them with a pressure washer, but I wouldn't get the nozzle of the pressure washer any more than two feet close to the rims.
WOW tint made a huge difference there look great man! im redoing my interior in the next week and im trying plasti dip on my door panels today and tomorrow ill let you guys know how it comes out.
If you're going to do it on the car then stuff a newspaper behind your rims so you dont get paint on your caliper and rotors. and then when you start spraying - EXTREMELY LIGHT COATS so that you dont run.
dude its totally removeable, i mess around trying to find a way to cover a few crappy spots on my front bumper with some pin stripe type things. they looked like crap and took about 30 minutes to remove no harm done!
I dont know if you noticed or not you guys but my side chrome vents on the fenders are blacked out as well. I didn't even bother to tape them off. Just painted and when it dried I took a xacto knife and cut around it and peeled the paint off. Didn't harm my paint at all but it DID run.
