Looks really good! I have done this to a friends 335i, but I am still too scared to use it on my own car.

Thank You Sir. Even i was skeptical at first then i did it to my friends aston martin db9 wheels, after it kept on growing from one friend to another and now most of my friends have plasti dipped wheels, so at last i decided what the hek might as well do it.

Looks really good, how did you do the trim? Do you just mask the area around the trim and spray this stuff?

i got the shadowline trim with the car, the rest on the trunk and fenders, i masked around them and, left .5inch gap so it makes it easy to take out the excess plastidip.

this might help

How is the maintenance with the PlastDip? Do you have to wash by hand or can you take it to a regular car wash?

Till now i always wash it at home, i dint take my car to the carwash yet, i dont think there will be any problem even if i do take it. when you wash the car, just dont use microfiber or big brushes. i use like a paint brush which has soft brussels.
