Right on, man. I looked at using that paint to do a bedside for a truck but never ended up pulling the trigger. I did buy a can to try though and the color was great but it seemed like it was super thin. Was that your experience?
The paint is SUPER thin and I have never put paint on a car before. I'm dipping my feet in on this header panel.... I've got it apart and patched and cleaned and I'm going to Scotch-Brite it, wipe it down with isopropyl, spray it down with adhesion promoter and sandable primer before I put down as many coats as I need to with this thin paint. I'll just take my time with it and keep the coats very thin. When I get it right I'll use spray gloss.
So I had to patch this header panel and the grill inserts. These are actually replacement grill inserts, that I have repaired, patched many cracks with epoxy and cloth and fiberglass rods. I am happy with their fit and function/strength, but my idea to use chrome paint on them is not panning out. I literally have 6 hours peeling off chrome, cleaning, sanding, etching, bleaching (lye) in that painted grill. I may eventually go for a blackout look or get the chrome paint looking reasonable and seal it with a 2K gloss, because the damn paint makes my fingers chrome after 3 weeks of curing.
I have had various successes though. I managed to get this rubber seal replaced as good as new.
