Depending on your climate, it won't last. I know some of the rice crowd around here does that to get the "audi" look (black bumper between the headlights). The junk starts peeling off by itself in a couple weeks and looks like crap. I've been thinking about using the stuff on my rims to last longer than paint, but only after cleaning and sanding them properly so it adheres.

It's just cool you can paint something and if you don't like it it's not permanent.

Haha, dude! You could put that stuff on, rob a bank, then park in an alley, rip it off really quick. The police will be looking for the wrong color car!

hmmm....

I like the stuff. I used it on my DD that I just bought to protect the alloy wheels in the winter and go over some of the chrome. As stated, if prepped right it's pretty tough. You can also get glossifiers, or different coatings to go over it.

I have since put a bronze over my wheels to change it up a little.
