A couple plastidip questions

1) The guys who sprayed their wheels.. how many cans did you go through?

2) I want to do my chrome spoiler lip... but My question is how did you handle spraying around the button? (I have a sedan but I'm sure coupe's have a button as well). Did you tape over it? and spray it separately? OR do you spray the whole thing .. I thought maybe the plastidip had enough flex?

Thanks

Vince

I've 'heard' it is about 1 can/wheel. As far as the chrome I would just remove and spray, I went a different route and have a body-colored lip.
