This has been an interesting read. I've used wrinkle black for a few parts on my FXD but this product sounds like the way to go from now on. I really like that you don't have to scuff up the chrome to apply it like you do with paint.

Did you mask the rim when you dip the edge of the wheel?

Yes I taped the edge i wanted with electrical tape because you can bend it in any shape you want.......covered the rest with paper and masking tape...........remember when you want a clean line you must pull the tape when the plasti dip is still somewhat wet..........if you let it dry ,the tape will pull off the plasti dip.
