got it from the canadian official plasti dip vendor over in Gatineau
i must've not let it cure long enough or put on a thick enough coat because as soon as I put the rims on my car, the socket put a gash in the finish on two rims.
Sucks but oh well. Paid 60$ for 4 cans, used 3. I'll go over them again with the rims on the car - ill shove some newspaper in it to cover the mechanical parts of the car.
as for the basket, you mean the inside of the rim? no, I didn't do them. they are fairly oversprayed though. It looks mean on the car, flat black rims look real nice. If I were to do it over again, I'd probably just get them powder coated. I also had a bunch of overspray in the middle section of the rim where the lug nuts go
Overall, looks good from far but far from good.
and the 4 cans were aerosol cans.
