Mine have been painted for about 3 months and are holding up great. I have even pressure washed them and no peeling! I was actually surprised by this.
Wow that is really surprising!! Good to hear

You can pick up the cans at lowes or home depot, I paid $5 each. I used less than 2 cans for 5 rims and the antenna.

Did you mask off the holes for the lugs? I would think when you torque them it would twist the plastidip and start to peel.

I worried about the same thing. I didn't tape them off and I didnt have an issue

Honestly might not be a bad idea do do at least the bottom edge of my body and doors with it to prevent rock chips

They actually make paint called "rock guard" for this. I'm pretty sure it's tougher than this plasti-dip.
