Jeremy DeCoudres no, I haven’t reapplied at all on my wheels and it’s been 3 years. The key is to build up the coats (6 coats) when you do it the first time. That ensures good coverage and thickness. It will hold up well with normal use. Good luck with your project !

@@bdeck4368 generally with paint and tape, yes you would want to remove when it’s wet to ensure you have a clean line. Since plastidip is pliable you’re not going to have an issue either way. Your first few coats are going to dry quickly - but really depends on your location. I’m in Houston where it’s always at least 80 degrees most days and sunny so it dries a lot quicker. Follow the manufacturer suggestions on whichever product you use and you won’t have any issues. I think most recommended 30 mins between coats, but mine dried a lot quicker than that.
