I bought a few cans and plan to do my rims, bumper and few other parts. On the rims are you taping off the tire or just over spraying and then trimming around the tire with a razor? I would imagine spraying them with the tires off would get you the best coverage around the lip but I would imagine the tire machine would destroy this when putting the tire back on.

That's a really good idea. I hate the next day when going to detail it and trying to get melted rubber off with out being to rough on the paint.

Just did the wheels on my girlfriends's Mazda 3 last weekend. The car is a lease so we wanted to do something to change the look that could be removed if needed. Also did the emblems to match. So far so good. We'll see how long it lasts. No complaints so far.
