Yea but 50-60$ seems like a bit much for something im only gonna use once/rarely. I think id rather get the cans even if it doesent turn out as well.

What all are you trying to plasti dip? the cans WILL NOT go on even and smooth like a gun would on large panels, and will leave it feeling very textured like my wheels.

not bad, but not perfect. I'll post a pic a little later. I think I can do a better job if I did it again.

Tips: mask off the inside where the lugs go, when taking or putting them on, they may grab the rubber and peel it off.

Do more thin coats as opposed to a few thick coats, it will come out smoother.

SHAKE THE CAN lol, for at least a min.

Keep the nozzle clean.

How much cans should I buy? And did you paint the inside of the rim too?
