I think I've found the best use for plasti dip yet. Here's an April Fools prank I played on my cousin and his BMW 650i. A little NSFW so I'll put it in a spoiler (just has the "F" word)

It's a good thing he knew about plasti dip. The setup was the best part. I did it at night right before I left his house and posted pics on facebook after he went to sleep. He saw the pics in the morning, went outside, and started freaking out .

His lame attempt to get revenge was to try and seran wrap my car, but my car was too low for him to get underneath it. Took only like 20 seconds to pull it off my car.

Going to give plasti dip another shot. Gonna try to spot fix where the wheels are peeling by spraying really close/using a paint brush. Doesn't really have to look perfect since it's in an area no one would really look or notice much (the area surrounding the lug nuts). Also going to redo the "370Z" badge and be more patient this time. Going to do this in the back of my apartment complex's parking lot so I don't have to worry about using someone else's garage/driveway so I don't have to try and rush it.

Just my 2¢, but I wouldn't use a toothbrush. That just doesn't sound pretty at all. Patience is the key. For your lug nut holes just do 5 or 6 slower, heavier passes and let it dry in between coats, like 15-20 minutes each coat. For your burgers, make sure you get the underside of the top arch, that's the spot I had to go back and do because I did it at night and didn't see that I kinda missed that spot.

Who said anything about a toothbrush? I was talking about using a paint brush. The wheels came out nicely, but the problem is just with the first 2 wheels I did where I didn't spray enough near the lug nut holes. The last 2 wheels were better after using what I learned from doing the first 2. I don't have enough plasti dip metalizer left to redo the whole wheel and I'm not paying to buy more if this will fix it.
