Keith B wrote:CONGRATS ELMO - are you happy with it (besides the color)... I think the diamond plate, handles, etc. are reallly going to POP against that color and look Great . So tell us, how do you like finish, hide, texture, smoothness, appearance... please feel free to reply after you've "come down"...

I actually think I like the color better than I thought...after looking at it.
It hides any flaws I was concerned about...it goes on smooth, but as far as smoothness it is the textured kind, so it is kind of rough to begin with. I would say as of right now I will give it a :thumbsup:

. One more coat here in a little while and she'll be done. At least this part anyway.

I'm now kinda wishin I had gone that route, no money in epoxy, no 2 coats primer, no 2 coats paint, less sanding, waterproof, done in a day, TUFF against rocks and chips, hail, dings, etc. I'm sure it prob. has good fade and UV resistance..... that stuff is gonna wear like iron... :thumbsup:

can you take a couple "closer" pics.

Well---I think I like it! I really don't see a problem with the color. It will look real nice with the plate.

Heading out to do the second coat....I think I will do it with the garage door open.

by **elmo** » Fri Apr 13, 2007 8:15 pm

Here is the second coat. It is not that dark, but close.

Went on real nice and levels off nice also. Next time I would try the smooth and wear gloves. If I go by how it won't wash off my hands it is on there forever.

No Don’t Open The Door… You will let all the good stuff out.
