My experience so far with plasti-dip if you're using it on wheels...
- brake dust is harder to get off, by a long shot. It's a rougher texture even with glossifier.
- you have to get every nook especially around where the lugnuts go in or it will start to peel very easily when you or the shop goes to put on or remove the nuts. The friction is not friendly.
- make sure you put on a good heavy coat, at least 4-5 coats, or it will be very hard to get off because thin just means little specks that won't come off as one.
- I hear it only lasts 1-2 years then you'll have to do it again.

Other than those points, I am happy with it as I changed the color of my wheels back to a stock from gunmetal very quickly and cheaply.
