Give it a try. If it doesn't work well, you can always take it off pretty easily.

yeah you sure can... the dipyourcar.com guy recommends 4-5 coats , which is about 1 can per wheel.. if you dont put enough on, its wont peel off very well.... i also recommed getting one of those aerosol spray can holders.
