I tried it with the duplicolor shadow stuff but messed it up by spraying the past coat too thick it was awesome tho. Same concept as the nightshades

i was going to do plasti dip and clear...no way of jacking the truck up now and i would want to wash the wheels really well and have time to do well. i;m driving out to see my parents in a month and i wont need to drive my truck once i;m there so i can take my time and do it then.

the clear coat probally won't work. the plasti dip is a flexible rubber coating,
clear coat is not. you would end up with cracking a flaking.
