Aren't they worried about overspray and how much time do they spend on taping off the painted surfaces on the car?

Another guy plasti his own nismo wheels to see if he is gonna like them before paint...

Is plasti a temp solution and is it hard to remove ?

Forgive me if this is in the wrong thread .
Hey, I'm that "Nismo Guy" that did his wheels. I did mine in white and I took it off in a week because I want to paint my wheels now. I think PlastiDip is good in SMALL doses. So, want to do your badges? Go for it! Want to do your wheels? I wouldn't recommend it. I would only recommend doing your wheels just to see if you like the black or white color (or whatever color you choose). I have a few pics of the removal, I'll post them up when I get home from work.

PM me if you have any other questions man, I literally did it last week and it's fresh in my head still!

Also, watch the video I linked below... it may answer some of your questions. Anything else, ask away!

This Plasti Dip product is Awesome!
