Pleasure mate.

Out of interest what plasti dip did you use for the wheels? Did you do them yourself?

Nice pic wondered if you had taken any. Used the original plastidip. Wheels off, degrease thoroughly, no masking of tyre required. 1 light coat followed by 3 coats 20-30 mins apart. Make sure you spray the rear edge of the spokes to ensure a continuous coat around the back of the wheel to prevent peeling. Plastidip is not the most durable of products but if looked after it will last a decent about of time. Also did the exhausts too if you noticed?

If I get bored I can peel of in minutes

Your bike looks brutal

Thanks, she has her moments.

Yes I noticed the exhaust and also the spoiler struts too, look good.

How long have you had the dip on your wheels now?

Only about a week. Dip on struts 18 months which has held up very well but as it's under the spoiler it's not as exposed.
