If cost was not a concern in any way, would anyone use plastidip?

Never said silver wasn't, but if he/I want a certain look, then cheapest functional is best. And you are 100% wrong about paint. No one paints wheels. It doesn't last and it chips with ease and you have to take further steps with clear coat etc. (and im not talking about you in a garage, professional so maybe you have a better chance of lasting). Powdercoat is harder and best and plasti is soft like rubber and doesn't chip. With plastis new shine or clear you can also make it smooth and look none matte. Again brake dust gets on everything. I never wash my wheels because it looks just like they would, matte black. To me that's worth it by itself. If cost was no concern, yes I'd still plasti! Paint and powder can still chip. I sure as **** don't want to be without a wheel for days, breaking the tire down, doing all that work for a damn chip. Plasti can be fixed in minutes.
