Default Plasti Dip testing

So i decided to test the how durable Plasti dip is by using it on my grill, fenders, and wheels. See when they fade, bubble, peal, and clean up when washed.

This is day one and my fenders look brand new haha

I did my grill and lights the same way, its been 2 months and still no problems. I also did my fiancés rims almost a year ago and it still looks great. Its awesome stuff, and if it starts to look bad just pull it off and do it again.

Anyone ever thought of using it to make decals? Ive wanted to try it but my artistic ability is more like autistic. So i cant make my own stencil

I am new to jeep, but have a 2013 with stock the aluminum wheels, love the look of going black, but don't have the $$ for new wheels, what is this plasti-dip stuff? Is it in a spray can? Where can I get it?
