It's a new product and I'm curious is all.
Not a advertiser. Not my cup of tea

How's the texture? Rough?Smooth? Also, if I use a powerwasher to clean my car wil it withstand the pressure? Where are you guys ordering it from? I went to the official website and they are already out of matt black. Thanks!

This looks much better than plasti-dip. If I didn't buy a hot lava, I would use this to get it pink...

Separate beater project car??

(I like pink, what can I say lol)

It's only like 45ish bucks for 2 cans which is enough for four 17in wheels. Doesn't hurt to actually just try it. I might do my stock wheels gloss black.

Interested in the texture as well, plasti-dip is nice but attracts dust/dirt like crazy. It gets dirty easily especially on the wheels. Cleaning is a bit of a pain too, but I should really just get a soft brush).

If you do a heavy coat in the end, it will be a smooth texture. Power washing is a little iffy depending on the pressure. I just use a garden hose to spray it down and a microfiber to wipe it. Thats all it takes to clean - I would say its one of my favorite part of having the wheels autodip'd

Here is another image of the Metallic Bronze. I have not altered the color in any way. Maranello Red was used on the GT-R wing.

@BDotG
They will probably unveil their full car program at SEMA this year.

I've only had it on the wheels for a month, but it looks like its still holding strong. They say its supposed to last 2 years without any fade.
