Looks really good!! I know a lot of people who have used this Plastidip on the F150 forum. Turned out nice. Do you literally just spray the stuff on? Any prep involved?

Looks good Chris, How well do you think the plastidip will hold up on the wheels?

Just clean the wheel and spray. Check our dipyourcar.com for products and application vids.

I have a friend whos had it on his car for over a year and its held up pretty well. If you get any blemishes just do a touch up spray.

They were painted and clear coated.

Ive been toying with the idea of buying a GT500 wing for a long time.

I dipped my wheels and shot them over in Duplicolor Graphite. I also went with the 4 Pedestal Spoiler which looks **** good
