What about just normal clear coat over it?
I guess that would defeat the purpose of being able to peel it off.
I guess I'll try just painting over whats on there now. I'm far too lazy to sand them down fully anytime soon. Maybe when I get back down to school and have nothing to do
Edit: lmao I was hoping you'd say it
I do already miss the shiny lip, it actually adds a lot to the look of my car... but... I think I'm going to paint the center cap white, see how it works out...
Actually, anything I've said in the last two posts don't even matter, sunday is the day Im going to do something with them, you'll all have to see what I do, it's always spur of the moment

That's stupid.. I went on their site just now, they sell pre-dip spray, the dip itself, glossifiers, metalizers, GooGone, some stupid gloves and paint thinner to fix tears in it.
All over priced

spend a good 8 hrs on em an you should be good. even if you just give em a wash they will be better. haven't cleaned those in a while. if you get a white vinyl like the yellow vinyl i put in there you can put a white dot right in the center fairly easily.

Yeah I washed them actually as soon as I got home a decent amount, sprayed degreaser and wiped them off a bit.
I just dont have another set of wheels to keep the car on so that I can take the time to sand them down and paint them.
So it's really just one at a time, put them back on the car and let the car sit over night. That's why I dont have the patience to do it

Going to repaint them, get all the chips/nicks out of them. Also that yellow bullseye will be gone too
But they're thinner tires than my old ones, so now I definitely need moar low
