Default How much plasti dip?

Hi all looking to spray my OEM wheels a possible matt black but as i cannot ship the wheel package from the dipyourcar in the states to UK im stuck to paying £16 a can, just wondering how many cans will i need to do all 4 wheels?

Massive help if some one has a sneaky way getting them shipped (Legally that is)

5 cans to fully cover inside and out. 4 cans were too little for me (oem rim).

I just used regular wheel cleaner.

Shipping would be easy to do with the USPS priority mail flat rate box. Not sure of the cost to the UK though.

I don't mind sending it over to you if you pay for the shipping. If the shipping ends up being more than just buying it there though, you may want to just do that.
