How long does Plasti-dip last on wheels before peeling/nicking?
Like the title says, any of you with experience with PD on your wheels please chime in, I've used it on small parts and it's lasted 2+ years with no issues....just did some wheels and wondering what to expect.
If you do reply, let me know how long it's been on your wheels and how many coats you put on, in addition to how it's held up.
Thanks.

Here's mine:
I painted them about two years ago. They still look about 9/10th as good as when I first did them.
I used Duplicolor gloss black caliper paint. It's all in the prep work. If you don't sand and clean the surface very well, don't expect much.
If you used a decent high temp/wheel paint should last quite awhile. Also, make sure you degrease the wheel/tire very well, the silicone in tire dressings can cause the paint to fish eye or lift.
