    Forever Black

    So far so good, 1st coat is on and dry. A little bit of streaking but not bad, and I hope 2nd coat cures that.

    Youtube video from company says it should last 4-5 years, and up to 7 years on certain parts.

    I should have taken their damp towel suggestions more seriously, I drew outside of the lines on a couple of places and it has stained the white paint a little.

    Is it black or does it closely match the original cladding color?

    Isn't the original color of our cladding black?

    It looks great from a distance but streaky up close. The streaks are not shades of the dye but rather dye and original cladding. So its almost like it is not adhering to it completely. I scrubbed it clean with the cleaner they provided.

    Im going to do another coat after the rainy weather ends. But thus far it survived a downpour with no issues.

    DONT USE IT!

    It will jinx you and cause someone to rear end you and ruin your great work.

    YUP, someone ran into me tonight and now I have a cracked rear and driver's side
    back corner cladding.
