Nice. I hope it holds up for you. Keep us posted.

op- going by your logic, why bother even coating it if you cant see it?

like my mom who's also old, she's like 'kenchan why do you put all these things on your cars when you can't even see it while driving?

"

she has a point... but good thing for me, everything is photoshopped.

you should just photoshop too.

My logic? I was more curious as to whether anyone had done it before and what the finish looked like as opposed to getting the approval of the forum as to whether I should do it or not...

Seems like it would durable, easy to apply. I used a chip guard tape on the underside of my rear spats and that seems to be holding up well after 6 months of driving.

Opinions?

your original post asked for opinions...

Sorry. My Karma ran over your Dogma.

Decided to do the skirts on the bottom with Duplicolor's Bed Liner, not the Armor Liner - I'm happy with the end result.

Wow, that's nice! How many coats? I plan to fix my carbon fiber lip and paint parts of it as well. I've already patched up a hole after a chunk broke off. I temporarily sprayed it matte black. It's still salvageable.

3 coats, 5 minutes in between coats. I used maybe a little over 1/2 can to do it.

That looks nice...could do the front lip of the Nismo bumper to add some color contrast and protection. It's always good to have options...my mom told me that!
