That's some pretty cool stuff. I've been using their liquid electrical tape for years on boat trailers, and I'll swear by the stuff any day. My trailer hasn't had water penetrate any connection in over 5 years. I'm about to do some of this. Again, can anyone tell me which one they're using? I'm guessing the home solution spray can. Anyone use the color enhancers? I'm thinking of doing my bumpers in white to sort of match the truck. Not sure yet.

Has anyone used this and done a two tone like the lariats have? Curious how it works on the body like that.

It is next to impossible to get any kind of paint line with this stuff. It will just peel up with the tape.

I did mine and it takes about a can per coat per running board.

I saw something similar to this used years ago, and to get a straight edge, they had masking tape with a fine wire in the edge so once it dries, the wire would cut a clean edge when pulled up before removing the masking tape. Anyone ever heard of this?

I've seen a couple of YouTube videos where they say you don't have to.

Check it out...might be the easiest way yet.

This stuff seems to work great from what I have heard! I guess the worst case scenario if I dont like it is that it can be easily removed. How is this done?
