will do, i ran a pressure washer over it a couple times and it held up fine to that. i really just did it to see how i liked my rims satin black. so when it does start to peel or flake, im gonna go get them powdercoated.

yea pics are big, but takes too long to edit them down. i wish this site auto resized like f150 forum does. you can look there if you want smaller pics.

Looks good although I needed three screens to see the pictures.

How many cans did you use? Also how long did you wait in between coats?

Thank you!! You know how many times I have priced to powder someones rims and when I tell them the cost they say "O I'll just plasti-dip them, its the same idea"....lol I'm just glad you didn't do it as the cheap fix.

lol sorry bout that, i provided a link for the smaller ones. i used a can per wheel including lug nuts. you can do it with a little less than a can but the thicker the better IMO

lmao! it is pretty pricy, but like everything else in the world, you pay for what you get. far as i know powdercoat would be my best bet as far as being durable. your not around my neck of the woods are you? id like to know what it would cost me.
