Looks kind of cool. I reserve final judgment until there are pics of it on the car.

definitely not what I was expecting to see. I did mine a few months ago in a bronze/titanium metallic. So you wiped it all off, I really wanted to see it on the car What are you planning for it now?

Im not to sure about the whole issue with the paint melting it could deff be a issue but as for the looks, i love it. Its deff sumthin different and not what i was expecting and i mean that in a good way. Alot of people just paint theres while this gives it a but of a rugged look. On the car with the letters black, IMO would look pretty nice. I give it a A. But ya hope it dont melt... if it does.. f-it throw sumthin new on there .

You should do everything in the engine bay with that stuff!

Like even the engine block. "My engine block is made of stone!" how many people can say that?

it will be like your engine is made of stone! hahahahaha

Random Ricer at car meet >>>>"What you running, home dawg?"

You>>>>>>"Fool, I'm runnin this new shizzzz. Mother truckin rocks homie! I'M RUNNIN ROCKS!"

It was funny in my head.

I know this guy who has his paint job done like marble. It looks cool but just not my style.

Props for trying to live outside the box though!

One Love,

Ghasty

Yaaaaaaa.... How is that stuff with heat?

i like it. ive painted most of the valve covers on all my cars with regular spray paint and they have all held up fine to the heat, oil ect. i wouldnt worry about it too much, you can always strip it off and paint it something different.
