Thanx Matt !! It is a Rustolem brand called Painters choice...Excellent on plastics !! Bonds to them but takes like 5-7 days to bond...Or so it says . I went with a satin finish. They have gloss or flat...Really good stuff !!

Thanx Jake !! I have thought about clear coat but it is not needed with this new paint ! When we started stocking it at work the rep. came and had a meeting with all us sales peeps to introduce us to the new stuff and it is really tough !! You gotta give it time to cure/bond is the only bad thing. I went like a week with no door panels on my truck !! LOL

Cuzican...Thanx...Lots of tape masking and wait time for cure/bond....Worth it I think !! Matt...I think a dye would be best on the fabric...

Mark...The rep. said they done alot of research and design on it before going to market with it...Still would not cut me a deal or no free samples !!! LOL

LOL Yeah back in the day the reps. would bring free stuff with them when they came...Now I think the keep it and sell it on flea-bay !! LOL I think it is tough enough not to need a clear top coat...But it would not be a bad idea...

Hope it stays!! Looks good bro!

I did mine before i bought Some black ones. And it all chipped off. If i had to redo them i would use plasti dip.

Did not look like the OEM grille would "pop" out...Would need to be cut out ...I think it would be very simple to do if ya wanted it out !! rastock...The paint I used is the good stuff...LOL But time will tell...
