you'll never get it right trying to do it with a rattle can. the trick to doing an entire car is to thin it down some and spray it from a real gun. youtube dipyourcar. cool stuff, but i'm not sure if i have the ***** to try it.

The wheels I have on the car now are dipped and yes it does attract dirt,dust,you name it. I just got some new wheels and this time I will try putting clear coat on them. If I go to the car wash I have to stand far back and hit them are it will just peel right off so imagine doing the whole truck and hitting it with pressure. Good luck if you go that route.

Do the dipyourcar.com thing. Don't use the rattle cans because it will come out uneven. Take your time and make sure the vehicle is clean. I think it will be awesome and whats great is its reversable. The dip your car lays a thicker coat so that is the key for easier removal. I say do it and post the pics.

No I wouldnt try it either. This dude at work does his thing with it. I seen the dipyourcar.com and he went through a carwash and held up, but theat doesnt mean 15 washs down the road it peels off. 99% of the time I wash it myself at the house. The wheels will be no problem to touch up. I just dont want it to look bad, might jsut stay away from it. Thanks for the input.
