Wow. You just SOLD me. I gotta try this on my lowers now...
I was all about the black bbq paint, but it has a real slight reddish hue in bright daylight.
I'm assuming this stuff comes a lot closer to matching the true blacks like denim black and wrinkle black?

I asked this same question on the other thread...have you tried matte clear coat of the plasti dip to make it more durable?

I haven't tried, but I know that it probably would. Plasti dip has a glossifier, but i bet you can spray anything on top of the dip if you really pleased. You could probably even put a primer on there, and paint them what ever color you please...and if you really didnt like it, peel it off later.
