    I have not yet had to change a tire, but I assumed that wheel cover is removable. Why did you have to wrap your brakes, etc.?

      I don’t have wheel covers. Those are actual wheels. Thanks for watching!

    Thanks for the video, did you use the Hyperdip Piano Black?

    Why can't I just use a more standard spray paint such as Rust-Oleum Universal?

      You certainly can, it’s not removable if you don’t like it. Also requires more painting skill. If you screw up plastidip you just remove and start over. If you are messy and spray a fender on accident, it comes right off.

    Hi Kerry,
    I wanted to know where you got your wheels plastidipped and how much was it?

      I plastidipped them myself, it's really easy, just takes all day to wait for coats to dry. I did 10 total coats. Thanks for watching!

      @@TeslaTipsTrips I agree that PlastiDip is not a long term solution. It looks good when you first do it, but after about a year, it starts looking grungy. It's also quite difficult to remove when you need to.

    Any finish that is so damaged after 1 year is not acceptable to me. Thanks for showing the reality.

      Well it's rubber paint. You could also hit a rock on the way out of the wheel powder coating place and now it's lasted 5 minutes. Or deliver a brand new Tesla and get a rock chip on the way home, so that finish didn't hold up either. But, yeah it's just rubber paint.

      im considering to plasti dip my wheels to prevent them from getting rock chips ... youll get them with or without the dip. I agree on it looking cheap tho unfortunately. prob just gonna get my wheels refinished after a few years.
