I totally agree! The conclustion of my dip experiment is... FAIL! Lol. The climate here is too rough for that stuff. Which is why I am going to get everything painted. Except the rims, I wan't to swap them out eventually so I may just re-coat them with dip until I can buy the rims I want. It looked great until it didn't lol.

Nice , keep me posted. So are you going to use the clear they make for the stuff on the rims now too?
