Guys. How would I go about dipping my wheels without taking them off? Seeing as I'm an EXTREMELY busy college kid that has 0 time to jack the jeep up, spraying them while they are on is the only option. And for everyone!!!

Depends on your wheels but: take duct tape or any other strong packing tape and tape the back side if the wheels covering the holes. Use lots of tape to make sure no paint gets through. Take 3x5 note cards and overlap them around the wheel. Spray away! Did this on my challenger and it came out great.

It peals right off the wheel...
I used Walmart shopping bags and just stuffed them around the breaks making sure no plastic touched the wheel, and sprayed away.

Doing the hinges looks good, has anyone done the larger part of the doors (not the area around the window) in plasti-dip and leave the hinges colored? thought about doing something like that on mine since the door panels have already become pretty scratched up. Also thought about doing the grill and taping off the sunken area around the headlight and leaving that colored. Any thoughts? will it look tacky? I've seen people say it peels off, but do you have to sand or primer to apply it? thanks.
