Just make sure you clean them well and scuff them up so the plasti dip sticks. Good prep will save you alot of headaches.

This should be interesting! Are you fully coating them or just parts of them? I have been wanting to paint the recessed portion of mine black, but I havent dared and or found the time to do it. My next paint job is the drums and calipers this summer. They are beginning to show their age

Yea your suppose to clean them well as I know of but I haven't heard that you need to scuff the surface, Plasti Dip sticks to smooth surfaces and contracts to the smooth surface, thats why your able to remove it IMO. But yea I haven't seen the need to scuff it
