    I sprayed my SV last fall. Seems like you would want to spray wheels with the tires already on. Plastidip is durable but I doubt itll hold up to mounting tires.

    Has anyone removed and installed tires on plasi dipped rims without messing up the plasti dip?

    I have some left over plasti dip remover that can be used to fix any messed up spots if you want it. It re liquifies it so if you get a tear you can basically melt it back down flat so you can touch up.
    Its the same concept except the stuff I have is made for plasti dip.

    I don't think they carry it. Try like an Ace or Menard's or even home depot.

    Its a glossifer. That gives it a closer to gloss shine. No other real protective properties. But if you use it right, the extra coats will peel off easier.

    I know the menards by my house sells the glossifer in the spray can.

    Hmm. I cant remember well. I think it just say clear on the can. Yeap they sell it in spray can. Not very many choice of colors though. And the clear one, some how it didnt have air/pressure? Got a bad can Im guessing. So we couldnt use it, not sure if it gloss it up or not.

    Definitely not impressed with the plasti dip cans. Looks like I am going the sprayable gallon route. My cans sprayed a nice solid spray for all of half the can before it started spitting... ****ing spits....

    Probably because of the dried plasti on the spray tip. I had to wipe it off every time I did a layer.

    I Actually had the dried spits almost immediately and did have to keep wiping the nozzle. I think the other spits was a issue with the can. I Still need more coats on the bumper though so I think I am going to give the cans on more shot, I gotta thin them spits out of the finish though....

    Dude all I see from you is negativity, trolling, and ****ting in peoples threads. I have no issues with joking around and having a good time but it gets really old. I thought MNsubaru was for Subaru enthusiasts to meet new people and learn/talk about subarus/car things. I don't go around spewing negativity, even when I see extremely dumb posts or things I don't like. Its called respect and being a composed adult, and I know for a fact you have it in you since your a soldier. I am one of the nicest people you'll ever meet or not meet.

    Yea its probably the cans. The first 2 I used was shooting fine till the last can. It just started spitting after half full. Good luck with the next cans you're getting though. And post some pics maybe?

    If memory serves me menards carries or at least used to carry a Blue Point (snap-on) aerosol spray nozzle attatchment that has a smaller tip and may help reduce the 'spitting'. If you're doing larger body panels it might be worth the investment.
