Has anyone done their shocks? Wondering about the traditional coil over Dyna ones.

Yes I tried it and it came out fine.

It barely works on plastidip. I wouldn't if I was you. I tried the glossifier on my fork tubes and then didn't on my bars and my bars look way better and doesn't attract dust. The glossifier feels tacky forever and never looks glossy.

I'll take photos if needed to show you. If you need gloss you need paint.

I believe Throttle_Jockey was referring to putting glossifier over Rustoleums Peel Coat their version of Plastidip. And yes it works fine. I did my fork lowers with glossifier and they are not tacky and they do not attract dust either. Sounds like you just had a bad experience with it.

I had the same experience. And, quite frankly, the glossifier didn't add that much gloss. Seemed to just add stickiness.
