    Please give a feedback how resistant it is on the wheels. Had the same idea, but wanted to leave out the spokes an the hub.

    Maybe in Winter time, when i mounted my set of TE wheels on my SM. ;)

    I have done this to my 93 mr2 and my 02 ford ranger, kept for over a year in and out of car washes, power washing... Now if you are going to beat it up, it may not hold as well as on a supermoto that's more road than off-road. Don't get me wrong, I like the look of the polished wheels but either the previous owner or the one before (I am the 3rd owner) stained the wheels with something. Eventually I will re-polish the wheels and re-plasti dip to protect them. I may go to a different color next time on the hub and spokes.

    I have use plasti dip on a lot of stuff that I wanted to try a new look and if I don't like it or change my mind in the future I can just peel it off. It all comes down to the prep work. I first tried to do the rim only and it was a nightmare. So plasti dip everything. And I kinda like the all blacked out look.
