I did the Wife's rims on her Focus. I took them off because it was the first time using Plastidip and I felt it would reduce runs as opposed to leaving them upright. If you leave them on, cover your calipers and rotors.
If anyone's not familiar with the application, make sure the wheels are super clean and *dry*. My technique was as follows:
First coat of Plastidip is just a quick tack coat, from about 4-6" away from the surface, should get about 25% coverage. Repeat for second coat. Third and remaining coats should be a little closer and slower. You want the finish to look slick (no orange peel) on each coat, without making the Plastidip run. 1 can per wheel will ensure durability and peelability down the road.
