nothing like another Dip partner....one thing you will notice is it is a dust magnet...but don't try to rub it off...just blast it with a hose.

Thanks as how do I like it . its a little early to tell. I just painted it this morning its sitting in the sun drying it came out nice and with just a slight texture too it
I did do a test on some painted fiberglass about a week ago. the test piece was sitting outside in the elements to see how it held up after the week it looked great I also wanted to see if I could remove the stuff It took a little work at first then it came off nice and clean in fairly large piecies after the removal the test piece was in the same condition as it was prior to paint. so I thought what the hell, its car painting time
