Looks real good.

I have a friend who did this to his wheels over a year ago, and they still look like he just did it.

Might be the biggest change for the least amount of money I've ever seen.

I wonder how many acquaintances will ask if you got a new bike.

I am not sure on how long it will last but i read it lasts 4-5 years or indefinately as long as you care for it is very durable. I don't really expect the texture to change any and if it does, I'll just re-coat. As for color???????

Yes it is matte finish and that is exactly why I chose it. I love the flat or satin finish on bikes or autos......."Ole-Skool"

You are right, I spent some time but saved much $$$$.

I already have pealed the Camo Green off my back fender Eagle emblem to the original black and it pealed off as said. No problems what so ever and it came off in one piece looking like a rubber sticker in perfect detail.

This stuff has me impressed for sure.

Oddly, I really like the look! It's psuedo black denim-ish, only with an olive green-ish hue.

Good job!
