It will NOT hold up to mounting and dismounting a tire.

So i'm about 60 days in and had several inquiries how it holding up so I thought I would post some pics and chime in..
FIRST: My truck is extremely dirty. My emblems and other items that i dipped, look 100% as good as the day i started. The info below is pertaining to the wheel application only.
SECOND:
It appears to be holding up decently well. I've been hauling my dirtbike to the track every wknd and so my wheels stay covered in dust/dirt/mud most of the time. I've used a pressure washer from the car wash, been through the automatic wash and haven't' noticed much of an issue.
The places that are peeling are what appears to be from my impatience during the application process. The outer lip of the wheels have minor peel areas on 2 of the wheels (whether from tire touching or from me using playing cards to tape off and then peeling them off too late, not sure). The other area that is peeling on only 1 of the wheels is inside the spoke, where I'm sure I didn't ensure I had enough coverage.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
-Wait several hours before between coat application
-Clean your wheels extremely well with alchohol or other
-Be prepared to touch them up, its just a fact.
CONCLUSION:
For me it works, but I totally understand those that don't want to mess with touch up, or longevity of application. If I had it to do over again, would I ? - Absolutely, its been a fun project and I still love the look.
