I think the name of the color should be revealed at this point. It will ease the pain if we can know the color.

so i picked up the car last night, it looks great and i'm very happy with it. i get home, and had planned on removing the purple from the wheels. i pull off the front passenger side wheel first and BAM! giant slice/gouge on the inside of the tire...didn't puncture the air tube...but def not safe to drive on. i ordered a new tire and should be here today, mounted and put on tomorrow.
how'd it happen? i don't know. but i'm thinking i'm running too much neg camber up front so i'm going to correct that asap. these tires only have like 8k on them, as i hardly drive the TL.
as far as removing the plasti dip/spray paint...here is what i did. jack up car, put on jack stands, remove all wheels and centercaps. hose down wheels with a generous amount of wd-40, agitate with a wheel brush, peel up one corner of the plasti dip, and pressure wash. it all came off very easily, except for the inside spokes. i'm thinking i was unable to coat those spokes with enough dip for the paint to adhere, so it's basically just paint on the wheel on a few spots. i'll remove the excess with a plastic razor blade and goof off/rag. seems to come off fairly easy.
yeah what can i say, it's not for everyone. it's not even for me. if i could go back and do it again i wouldn't. i miss the original PC gunmetal finish on the wheels. boredom is a bitch.
hey, nobody is forcing you to click on this thread.
sorry, ravi.
i can't help that it took this long. imagine how i felt for 4 weeks with NO car. sucked. now i have my car, and still can't drive it.
o rly? that's funny, i waited a month too!
everyone else, i'll get some pics asap as soon as i get the new tire mounted and whatnot. sorry for the additional wait.

that is sort'of what this feels like...i do apologize for this taking so long, didn't forsee a blown out tire happening yesterday.
yup i was amazed at how easy it came off, especially when i switched nozzles on the power washer.
