I started by using my sons WK as a beta test site.... turned out awesome and now my JKU looks like Cyclone1983's Sahara Tan - except I didn't do the grill. We did do the antennas and door key holes.(Cyclone 89 here 
)
We used 1" blue painters tape in small strips on all wheels while they were on the vehicle. Then used the half sheets of Bounty to cover the tires and close in body areas. Mask whatever you don't want coated.
Took 2 cans for $5.98 ea and about 20-30 minutes per wheel. Do many light coats and try to do it in the sun to help each coat set up. It's very easy of you take you time when applying each coat.

I did my fenders yesterday. Unfortunately plasti dip is not so cheap in Canada. $20 per can. I've done wheels and a grill on my previous car. And the grill was chrome. Held up for two years The wheels went through a salty winter with nothing coming off.
