Just so you know, it's been said the heat seen by wheels makes the plastidip much tougher to remove...at least that's what I've read.

try it on something you don't mind messing up (not saying it won't work, it's just I've never heard of anyone doing that before) it should still work i would think. Although, if you clear coat plasti dip it doesn't want to peel off as easy as it would without the clear coat.
i bought 4 cans for 20 bucks while i was on vacation in florida, in toronto its 20 bucks for 1 can what a rip off so i remembered reading plastic dip is cheaper in the us so i stocked up. im now wishing i bought more cans but im gonna make due with what i got. some good ideas on here for sure !

Yeah... I visited both Home Depot and Home Hardware today for some PD. The Home Depot in my area doesn't even have it anymore - they tell me its an online order only, and it's $20.00 at Home Hardware when they have it. You guys have me so enthralled with the possibilities of PD. Must... perform... paint jobs...

I actually picked up 6 cans for $12 a pop (as opposed to $20) from a rep at APF Automotive in Mississauga. I don't have his card on me right now so I'll post the email and phone number when I get home.
I have only seen red, yellow, and black in stores. Other colors will probably need to be bought from a website.
Oic what stores have you seen the red and the yellow ?
I know about them but prob is when u Order to Canada they just raise the price to 20 bucks a can ... Their excuse is that since they have to have a label with English and French on the can the price goes up..... So stupid if u ask me .
Around here, Home Depot and/or Fleet Farm.
Ok, so this is my first post and I've heard a lot recently about PD and all the different applications for it. I've given in and bought two of the 11oz rattle cans today and plan on doing my stock wheels as shown in the pictures. If it turns out alright, I'll add some clear to the non-PD'd areas to make it pop. Then hopefully move on to PDing the spoiler, rear valance and badges. Maybe even the whole damn thing! Haha
