Thanks.
It’s a relatively thick coat so I assume the resulting tighter fit of the aero covers would ruin the finish.
What range estimate/ efficiency are you getting on your 21s?I am deciding whether or not to power coat my 21" wheels. Until then I used Dip Your Car's Hyperdip.
I used Anthracite Gray, about a can for each wheel. I was rotating my tires at the same time so it was easy to spray them on the ground using index cards to stop overspray on the tires. The finish is really nice - a nice improvement over the Plastidip I've used before. I think it was more forgiving in application too.
On interesting thing I've noticed is that my efficiency seems to have decreased slightly after doing this. It's possible the slightly rubbery finish on the wheels causes enough drag to show up on the efficiency meter. Time will tell. This may all be coincidental though. Temperatures are dropping, but even on recent 70Âş days (with A/C & heat turned off) I feel like I'm seeing a difference.
This is today after driving about 30 miles in 45° weather with climate set at 71°.
Perfect. Like the day I sprayed them. And I run through a tunnel, touch car wash about twice a week.
Looks great! How hard is it to remove? I’m leasing a Rivian so I’d need to get the wheels back to original. Would that be very difficult?I am deciding whether or not to power coat my 21" wheels. Until then I used Dip Your Car's Hyperdip.

I previously used kerosene to dissolve Plastidip from the wheels on my F150 before I sold it. It took approximately 30 minutes per wheel. I’m assuming it’ll be the same with removing the Hyperrdip. Dip Your Car does sell a dip remover spray that I’m thinking about trying as I’m getting ready to sell my 21” wheels.
How well did it wear? Do you have any pictures after... how long, a few years?
I had it on my F150 for about 8 years. I think I resprayed 2-3 times. It still looked quite good after all that time.
