How easily is the it to peel off the plasti dip after rattle canning on top?

Before:
17x8 +35
17x9 +35

And I haven't measured them after but they should be in the low 20's. Fronts are x9 rear x10. When I get a chance I'll calculate everything.

And to reseal the lips and the barrels I used a automotive silicon sealant from home depot. I read that I should use a clear silicon sealant but I'm not sure if it makes much of a difference. The one I got was clear

I waited on it. It's at a friends getting crower stage 2 cams and a titan gear.

It was the logical thing to do since it also need a t-belt and water pump!

I've never used plasti-dip before but compared to the youtube videos it makes it a little harder to remove but not by much. I had like 5-7 layers of paint over the plasti-dip so it would peel off in little pieces as opposed to pulling it off in big chunks.

swapped my throttle body out earlier because of a bad throttle cable sensor. My brother helped me a bit and got it done in about an hour, felt like an accomplishment to us lol
