See and learn something new everyday!! looks good, I don't know why it wouldn't work! This should be great stuff for all you "blacked out" guy's! Where do you get it? I can already tell you the wheels are turning in my head! I think it would be good stuff for like under the bike, under fenders, around certain area's that are always getting beat up by road debris.

Not the same as bed liner. Very smooth, Looks like powder coat and can be removed........I think bedliner is permanent and rough.

I'll have to add this to the list of things to try. 5 or 6 bucks a can is cheaper then a hundred or so for either powder coating, or buying them black.
