has anyone had a play with this stuff? Thinking of painting my wheel centres and spokes to create the look below. I've always liked rosepetals but they're not wide enough.

I have no experience with it, but it looks exactly like plasti-dip, which is being widely used for wheels and even whole cars.

Thats a very high benchmark. I've seen that car and it's absolutly incredible. Fitted with an amazing collection of period accessories and fittings too. Full period rally interior, including period helmets, harnesses, spotlights, map lights, tools, spares, safely equipment. Even a period video camera mounted to the roll cage.

If I can dig up a few pics I'll put them up.

What impressed me was that even with the large number of items with or on the car it didn't appear overdone. It was like a mobile period motor sport museum.

Regarding your original post yes there is a product called plastidip that if you change your mind you simply peel it off. The gambier Moke that came to Rylstone 2 years ago had it on the floor areas and there are entire cars done with it too.

I think its original use was wheels, on show cars you could change the colour for a different look. You'll also see the same stuff use on handles of tools such as pliers etc.
