How long should it be between my last coat and my peel? Thanks.

I might be misreading your question, but are you asking how many coats you should use?

Nah man, I got that part. I mean how long, time wise, between spraying my last coat, and taking the tape and the excess off?

Oh sorry man, when I helped my friend dip the wheels bronze on his WRX we waited around 45 minutes to an hour. It looked great for the 6 months he had them on the car, and still looked perfect after he sold them.

What color did you dip your wheels?

Okay. It's been about a half hour, and I guess I'll be waiting another few lol.

And I did my H and Civic emblems black. My car is black, and it will really make the Si pop :)

Wheels will be on a day that isn't so windy and I can start earlier lol

Take the tape off while it's still wet. Otherwise the tape may lift the edges.

Nice! I want to dip the 328i badge on my car black, gloss it and do the same to the kidney grills. The weather has been stopping me though haha.

That sounds like it would come out nice. My black is not as smooth as I'd like it. But a good gloss could fix that. I only got the black for now though.

Yeah, gloss really makes plasti dip look much nicer than it does alone. All the plasti dip jobs I've done looked decent alone, but definitely required gloss to look great anyways put up some pictures whenever you're done!
