How to ruin OEM rims!
Painting with a rattle-can, done correctly, is fine as well. And their spraying technique is far better than others i've seen. Granted, i don't see any primer and the video stops short of showing their finishing process. It could also be the paint they used does not require priming.
For a DIY, there's nothing wrong with their process.
The stripping/sanding portion is, for what they're showing. Not removing the tire is fine. Not the best approach, but still correct.

And I presumed the tires weren't removed because they were going to be trashed and replaced. At any rate, I'm at a loss as to what was fundamentally wrong with their DIY as well. 
It would have been better to use the industrial grade paint stripper along with some heat and a scraper before sanding, but other than that they had the right idea.For a community known for embracing Plastidip as not only acceptable but desirable as a wheel finish, I'm baffled as to why so many will hate on someone DIY refinishing wheels before even seeing the final product.
I presumed that the coating they applied was the primer (I'm pretty sure that's not the color that they want the wheels). Especially since the video was labeled as Part 1 and it was "to be continue".

No kidding, well said. From a fellow Plastidip hater.

Have you encountered any damage from plastidip? What's up with all of the animosity? I've noticed that this website loves to strike other users down bc they dont agree with said mods. It's their own car let them do what they want to it.
I always felt like plastidip was a great solution for people who wanted to test and temp. change the look of their car.
Also before you try and spit fire my way. Just know that I honestly have no issue with the mods in the video. I just thought the "to be continue" was a great way to end the video haha. They seem extremely excited and happy with the mods. Carry on, nothing else to see here.

I digress. It's a good temp solution, especially for certain things, but not an end-all, be-all.
I think most people hate on PD mainly because it's a $6 can of rubberized spray applied to a $30k+ vehicle.
