I just sprayed right over the lugs as the next time they come off is either to fix a flat or to replace the tires altogether.. I am curious to see if it comes off the lugs well, but I did put a LOT of plasti on the lug areas.

3 and 1/2 cans. Bought a full case of 6 so have enough to do touch ups and even probably a whole other application. At 6 bucks a can, you can't have more fun....

True. I used 2.5 cans doing my Sahara fenders. Did you tape off the tire or anything? Lowes keeps a good stock of it here.

You don't rotate your tires?

I only drive my vehicle max 2K miles a year, so I will likely change them to bigger wheels and tires before I would ever need a rotation. I travel for work and am in my wife's vehicle most of the time when with the kids...although that might change as the kids are constantly asking for daddys jeep and my wife is starting to fall in love as well... with the jeep, hopefully she was already there with me.

You guys are saying peel the tape while the plasti dip is wet. Do you re tape before each coat?
