Default Water Transfer Printing

Anybody have this done on their wheels? How long does it last or how well does it hold up to daily driving?

once my buddy gets situated in his new shop we are going to try it on my wheels. Can't comment on how well it holds up yet though.

You could always spray automotive grade (no rattle can) clear over it to maintain a good finish but knowing how the print will react to paint is something I doubt anyone on here has tried yet.
