do the whole car lol if you dont like it just rip it off.  I was always curious how that stuff would hold up.  Did you clean the surface before you sprayed or just bomb it?

I have my header panel plasti dipped. Cause i broke the fiberglass after dropping my hood on it. Holds up real nice, have it on my turbines as well.

Yeah, if you clean them up well, and spray them they hold up nice, I have the lip starting to peal but that's because i had some curb rash, and it didn't adhere properly.

No I've pressure washed them and sprayed wheel cleaner and they're fine. I mean if you get at it and scrub the living  out of them then possibly, but the black blends in with brake dust very easily so I don't worry.
