I have a jack and stands. One can per rim and one just incase, you'll also need some rubbing alcohol.

I'm also around the Skyway/South Seattle area.

I was wondering if anyone could do a plasti dip job for me as well?

I'm surprised so many have a hard time with the plastidip.

From my experience, it's all about prep and thin coats on the first few. Take the wheels off of the car and don't worry about masking the tires at all.

Take a lot of time to clean and prep the rims with alcohol as the last cleaning agent and wait for it to evaporate.

Then do the first layer VERY thinly, the same for the second and third, then 4th and 5th layers medium each time. I do a 6th layer to touch up areas I may have missed and give about 10 minutes between coats.

There are some great youtube demonstration videos as well.

Here's my little daily driver with plasti-wheels and Matte wrap.

Not all of it is used. It's better to have too much than not enough.

I just peeled mine off after a rough IL winter but it held up pretty well. I may do mine again but it was a pain in the ___ to remove 100%
