Magical stuff ain't it
If there are any bits left you can't quite get off, a microfibre cloth works wonders. Just rub it.

Oh absolutely going to halfords to get the gun holder it's way easier to apply only £5 too whoop
Yeh you can get one with a much thicker nozzle attachment too. Helps lay it down more evenly,

Yeah that's right,I will feel much more comfortable with a gun instead of spraying it like deodorant lol,
Shaun I must say it looks really good in black mate! It's not the full super dark black colour you'd usually find, and I think it's hides less detail then proper black like RobBravo was saying. I think it looks really neat dude and the red Fiat logo goes perfectly with it!!
Glad you came right with the plastidip, it really works wonders!

I guess you made this thread for opinions, I will give you mine.
Everyone else is positive so you will probably go down that route - however, I've never really liked black wheels because the features disappear, they don't look as bright, and in my opinion they can look smaller!
For example, see the photos I've attached, the details almost vanish on the black wheels, where as they pop on Silver. I love silver
Pretty bad example for the black rims, but generally what you say is true in many cases. That's why I'm more after a compromise between the two. I love the wheels Lexus puts on their top tier trim levels: http://www.clublexus.com/forums/att...le-2008-isf-lexus-wheels-19-inch-img_4252.jpg

Cheers pal I got to say well happy with outcome,and I got the knack of plastidip now too
Looking really good man!!! Don't think those alloys have ever appeared black on a white Bravo before, but I must say it's damn well sexy!!! And the green calipers look even more badass now

Mate thank you very much well here's the first, I think the green looks sweet and it makes the car more sporty too
Hmm,
I wonder if this could be a way to protect alloys during the winter?
Spray on, leave on during the salty/ winter season, peel off when the weather comes good again?
Do you think a karcher pressure washer and/ or wheel cleaner would fetch this stuff off?

People use it for this all the time, protects from the salts on the road an everything, it's even used by racers to protect their cars on track days etc. Some people even spray their brand new cars so that when they come to sell they peel it and have perfect paintwork.
Yes it's should survive jet washes absolutely no problem
What about if I gave it a scrub with wheel cleaner?
Definitely needs some research this one!
