Plasti-Dip alternative, Armor All Custom Shield, comparison:

Whoops, my bad, both made by Plasti-Dip

Just used the custom shield on the SE wheels. Looks the same as the Droo's wheels (plasti-dip black).
It's currently on special at SCA for $20/can ($7 off rrp iirc?) which is pretty good value as the Armor All can is a larger capacity than the plasti-dip cans.
Bargain :mrgreen:

Just be aware guys.
They are not EASY to simply peel off if you dont like it.
Can be a PIA.

I tried plastidip red on two track rims.

They did i think three track days, so got a bit of heat into them.

Tried to peel them off the other day, nightmare. Kept breaking off in tiny bits.
I ended up soaking it off with rags and turps.
Very very messy and sticky job.
Also left a red stain on them. (as someone else found when they removed red stripes from a white car)
Took a lot longer to clean off than to apply in first place.
Certainly easier than actual paint, but not as easy as simply peel off.
