The thicker it is (more coats) the more resilient it is.
I wish I could double thank this. After reading through all 241 pages on the big thread and now being bugged eyed from staring at a monitor that long this helped me out a lot. Most people were just posting pics which is great but not too many people just did the bumpers and provided info as to what they did to achieve the results.

Do you read anything in a post before making a troll comment? Next time how about taking your own advise and read through an entire thread. I took the time to read through over 2500 comments, not just on the thread that you started but about 4 other threads involving plastidip and out of close to 2500 comments only maybe 2 were somewhat helpful. Not exactly what I was looking for. When I started this thread I was over 110 pages into the one you started and had not really found any help at all. There seems to be more trolling on this forum in the past few months and I really wish the moderators would start dealing with it because posts like this by firezach is a prime example. If you would have taken the time to look up just 1 measly post above yours you would see that I had already finished your huge thread. Thank you for the people that decided to come in here and be helpful because as a community that is what it should be, all of us trying to help one another out with thoughts and ideas not troll trash being spewed just to try and get some sort of warm fuzzy.

Stop the name calling. There is no reason for it. I'm sure we are all grown adults?
