Its actual liquid vinyl. It actually stands up to a lot of abuse and best part is you can just take it off and respray.

i painted my old wheels with some plasti-dip it lasted roughly 8 months before i sold the car and it still looked like the day i put it on... best part is it peels right off when you dont want it (sometimes it doesnt peel perfectly) but put some wax on then mask it and it will look great! it pretty much is fool proof!






hope this helps
