    It will be more of a flat black, unless you use a glossifier with it.

    You CAN spray your whole wheel, cut your pattern, and then peel the excess, but honestly thats going to be WAY more of a PITA than just taping off in the first place. This stuff does come off, but it definitely will take time to peel it off, and usually you can only peel it in small pieces.

    The spray is a little blotchy, but pretty smooth. The first coat will be blotchy, but after you lay the second coat, it will smooth out. I recommend doing around 4 coats on each wheel. It took me 2.5 cans to do my 4 wheels with 3 coats.

    heres a couple pics of mine -

    that's gonna look sick!! x2 on 4 coats, the more coats you do the easier it will be to peel off. I've heard of the glossy plastidip but never seen it in person

    I'm not a fan of any wheel with a chrome ring around the outside. But whatever you want to do is what matters.
