I'd definitely recommend against going to an automatic car wash if you can avoid it. I wash mine in a self-serve wash, taking care to avoid directly spraying the plasti-dip areas. The first time I washed my car after plasti-dip, I almost peeled it off my window trim. Luckily I was able to press it back down and everything was fine when it dried.

I just bought some plasti dip today from home depot. pretty cheap. I'm planning on spraying my stock rims with them. Just thought I'd do something different on my car. this will only be permanent though until i get some actual rims. lol

a buddy of mine went all out with plastidip and then after put one layer of other paint on it. the plastidip should act as a buffer between the perm paint and your rim alloy.
it looked good on my friends rid. gonna snap a pic if i see him again soon

^Someone did that with their chrome front ring on here. Can't remember who...had an AS RA though.
Now that you mention it, I might try doing that to my stock wheels this spring. Lay down some plasti-dip underneath the gunmetal paint. You think primer would still be needed on top of the plasti-dip? It's pretty coarse already, and I'd assume that paint would stick OK to it...
