Not bad. Beats having to primer, paint, clear coat it e.t.c. and this can be removed too and it was only $6 with more than half a can still left!

Another to add is people that spend 100 bucks on painting their grill when 10 bucks will achieve the exact same result, if not better, yet flaming will happen because you didn't spend 10 times as much as the other guy.

Whats more durable? Automotive paint which has a catalyst and cures.... or thin rubber coating? You guys realize how much crap hits the front of your car on a daily basis? Post decent pics(not some ****ty iPhone pics) in about a month... then we'll see how well your $10 rubber paint job holds up.

I would think that paint would chip easier than a rubber coating?? Idk I'm not a painter all I no is my bumpers paint is ****ed up from rocks so either way paint or plasti dip it will eventually get ****ed up.. Just my opinion

Actually rubber coating is more protective. Paint isn't an impact absorbing substance.

Hence truck beds and Rhino Lining.

Honestly, most aftermarket mods are jury rigged at first then cleaned up after they're proven, not much different than this.

It looks good and works.

Just because something wasn't MEANT for a project, doesn't mean it won't or can't do a good job at it.

The grill looks great, and the rear diffuser is a"nice try, give it another go and do it better" thing.

Youre kidding right? He could have key marks and chips all over his car and we wouldnt even see if in those sh'tty quality pictures. A crappy low res jpg on the internet is about the worst proof of perfection there is.
