Well I got a few runs in mine the 1st Time, and you want to pull the tape ASAP!!!!, Since I didnt get it damn near perfect I pulled it all in about 5mins, and will be masking everything back off and starting over again this evening.

Lol. It's hard to not get a little laugh out of that. One because I did it also as I said before. And it's not like you hurt anything. 
That's when the KY came out in me and I did it all rednecked and free handed it LOL! It actually worked better that way for me on the wheels. Just make sure you get a solid coat and I'd say you'll be alright.

I guess for the "runs" part I didn't really consider it as much because I never tried to spray it on anything vertically.. I'm assuming you didn't take the rear bumper off and set it on the ground either lol. That's how I did my Berger, was I had it horizontally set on a old trash can. Same as the wheels I took them off and just set them on the shop floor. So no runs for me.

no runs in my wheels but the lug nuts made it start peeling when i tightened them so i'll be redoing mine again but masking the area when the lug nuts make contact. OP how long did you let yours dry before putting them back on your car

I let them dry til their wasn't any damp looking spots. I used a silver socket on the wheels for more clearance. And tightened them on slower then usual.
