just got the first coat on looks so much better with just that so far. took a full can for the first coat to get it to cover now just have to do a few light coats then a few more heavy coats and let it fully dry then next weekend I can start wiring and putting it back together a bit

Do those cans say rubber coating? Is it like bedliner kinda stuff?

[TkrPerformance]

it is a spray rubber it is what you put on tool handles. there are a ton of guys using it to paint there cars now. it you get tired of it you can just make a small cut in it and peal it right back off. but it will bond to anything out there. it does dry and is not rubbery. if you scratch it or gouge it just put more over the top the chemicals in it will melt into the older stuff and you will not see where it was at

Looks sweet. Definately will have to consider that if I ever do my engine bay. Are you just doing the engine bay that color, or the whole car?

[TkrPerformance]

Nice. Man I'm thinking of trying to use that on my IC pipes now. Kinda a nice flat black OEM look, and I'm all about cheap.

I would personally not use that on my car. Take a little more time and remove everything in engine bay, clean, prime what needs it, and paint it with actual paint. I would call that more of an OEM look since that what come in the engine bay from the factory. I am guessing that if there is a nick or something that the plasti stuff will just start to come off. All are different though. Hopefully you get what you were told on the oil pump too. I bought a "new OEM" oil pump from someone one time and it ended up not being oem and it wore out and was junk within 500 miles. I will never buy an oil pump from anywhere but the dealer myself ever again i just dont think it is worth the couple dollars savings to chance it. Post up photos when the engine bay is done too. When do you think it will be on the road?
