Just grab a piece on the tire and peel away. Comes right off tire and stays on wheel edge.

Yeah I did the lugs too. Only one peeled off at my next rotation. 5 coats seems excessive... I only did 2 per wheel. This stuff is not like paint, it's thicker and sprays on thick.

It was the number recommended as the higher side looks good still. I did have to spend an extra $6.00. Hah
