What is this plasti dip? Is it a dip or spray. How would you dip large parts without having a 5 gal bucket of the stuff. Somebody explain it to me please.It might be something I might want to do to my car wheels. They are pretty crumie looking

You can get it in a spray can or in a large can for dipping.
Spray can is the most practical for using it on vehicles, the large can is more for dipping the handles of tools into.
Great thing about plasti dip is that if you don't like it you can just peel it off (it won't damage paint etc, at least it hasn't in any of my experiences with it).

Ditto...I painted the gas tank on my old Triumph with it, looked good but did not like gas dripped it. So peeled it off.

just a word of warning... we have seen dip really mess up metal on car/bike wheels, stain chrome, and pull up clear coats. granted this does not happen all the time by any means. but it is consistent in our shop. we also see WAY more of this than the typical person does.
