I plan to do a very similar style with black but can't figure out the bat way to make the lip have a clean straight finish. Do you think your way is better than taping it off? What do you mean you scored it and rubbed off? Did you see this in a video?

USING A RAZOR TO SCORE/CUT THE EDGES CAN LEAVE MARKS ON THE WHEEL SO DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK! ESPECIALLY IF YOU HAVE VERY EXPENSIVE WHEELS!
I just found the razor to be an easier and more effective way to get my clean edges and the wheels are just cheap repros so I didnt care if they had marks on them. And I couldn't see the razor marks until I removed the dip and changed the color.
No video that I know of, I just figured I'd try it and see what happened.

If you do 5 or more coats of dip you should be able to remove all of it in one piece give or take. Its like peeling a popped balloon off your paint is the best way to describe it I guess. If done like this there should be nothing left on your paint at all, no residue chemicals or anything.
I just peeled off my fender stripes and resprayed them this weekend for a car show. They had some wear and I wanted them new and nice looking took about 20mins start to finish.
And thanks!
