    What process did you use to dip the wheels and how long did it take?

    Pretty Simple. Here's the video I followed in order to not have to take off the whole wheel (you save a ton of time by doing that).

    Took about a few hours, ensuring I made enough coats so that when I want to take it off it comes off all at once. I also did the glossifier coat so if you don't do that then you'll probably take less time.

    Looks great. I was thinking about doing the same thing for now too until its time for new tires and upgrade the size of wheels.

    Did you purchase the kit from DipYourCare.com? Seems like the only thing that would be nice to have that you cant buy separately is the "Dip Re-leaser" i think he called it. It sounds like it may just be something similar to a tire shine or similar.

    Looks good, I am a fan of the derp
    it comes off real easy soon after application. :anonymous: did mine last weekend, it was pulling itself away at the tight inside corners of these wheels (not taco wheels) so, it had to go.......

    You can also vinyl wrap them - a forum member sells the actual kit. I did it and it came out pretty OK
