It didnt get inside, its not hard to remove, even after a few months. Just read through the thread and youll see tips.

No it does not effect the original color at all!

I did like the white, but I found it too hard to keep clean, especially up front. The texture of the dip on the wheels makes it difficult to remove - even with the gloss/clear spray plasti-dip I put on them. I used alot of elbow grease and it got good, but not great. I ended up taking them off like 2 months ago. I think I will get them powdercoated a nice glossy white soon.

By difficult to remove, do you mean brake dust is difficult to remove, even with the clear coat? Or the actual plasti dip was difficult to remove?

Brake dust, not the plasti dip.

funny about the g35, i was thinking i could spray my car some exotic color and bring my car to work to mess with my co-workers, a bunch of them got it in their head i had more than one s2000 already (different combinations of: hardtop/softtop, black ap1 rims/silver ap1 rims/tsw rims), and then just peel off the paint the next weekend.

hmmmm plasti dip on wheels eh?

interesting thread...

I'll be picking up a can to do my side S2000 emblems. After seeing this thread I'm thinking about doing my White Work CR Kai wheels in black.

My original plan was to get them powdercoated from my paint guy but the wait time is too long.

I'll probably go this route instead for now and see how it holds up.

Painted my CR wheels







was pretty easy to do, I didn't even take my wheels off
I masked off the brakes and sprayed away
got some over spray on the rotors and it all wiped off easily
