Its very durable, Ive had it for 6 months already and looks great. Plus when you get tired of it it just peels off. Highly recommend it

Found this on their website, it shows the different color combos and such: http://www.plastidip.com/home_solutions/Plasti_Dip

Think I'm going to try this for my rear emblem since I'm not sure if I want to take it off along with the Max logo.

Thanks alot!! I used in total about 5 cans for all the trim, rims, etc... Pretty much you need one can for all the trim and one can per tire. I even painted my rear diffuser, looks pretty good, but could've been just a tad better around the roundings by the exhaust (I used painter's tape to round it off). But I've had it on for about a month and a half or so and it's still holding up well!

Blackmaxx, it holds up pretty good on my rims. Believe it or not, all you gotta do is hose off the rims and they look brand new again! As far as applying the paint, I just taped off the tire and did work! Everyone be aware that this stuff holds up phenomenally, I pressure wash my car atleast once a week and no problems whatsoever.

Sometimes I make condoms out of Plastidip. But it only lasts for about 15 seconds. The Plastidip holds up rather well though

How long does the Plastidip take to dry? It usually takes about an hour for my Viagra to kick in so I'm just curious.
