It is an absolute nightmare to get off if it's thin.
When I did my wheels I didn't do it heavy enough. Took me 45 minutes to get it off my spare. Decided there had to be a better way and came across someone that used WD-40 and a pressure washer.
Let the WD-40 sit for a minute or two then just blast it off. Works great!

I've done the plastidip thing to wheels before. I used the quarter trick to keep the lug nut contact faces clean. It held up well. As people have mentioned before, make sure you get it on thick. This helps keep it from peeling/bubbling and will make it easier to take off on your terms when it comes time. Thick plastidip peels off in a single sheet. Thin plastidip gets all crumbly and you have to do a lot of rubbing.

Old thread, I know. But, I just did my grill to see if I liked it black. Love it! Now, I have to decided whether to leave it be until it peels or, just peel it and make it permanent. Either way, it will stay this way til spring.
