I can see the productivity in the GRMhq dropping off significantly over the next few weeks, from people bounding around like a bunch of gazelles, after Tom coats the entire office - wall-to-wall and celing-to-floor - in Eastwood rubberized coating.
That's what we are secretly hoping for, but baby steps at this point. We'll get them eventually haha

Sadly I missed out ss well. Really wanted to try a bronze like color on the wheels of my daily. See how it holds up to 500 miles a week and only drive through car washes.

What are the temperature limits of this product?
It was mentioned earlier... like 350F, I think.

Correct, we have safely tested the product at 350 degrees

I'm considering doing the leading edge of my Mustang's hood with a 2" strip. There are some major chips on the front end (it has 275k on it), and I'm looking to buy a few years before I have to paint the hood.
What kind of prep am I looking at?

Clean it really good. If there is any rust I would eliminate that first.

As stated prep is key. Rust can be removed with a grinding/flap disc or wire wheel.
Elastiwrap prep would be recommended for cleaning the area, but you can use rubbing alcohol to clean the surface or other cleaners but the surface needs to be dry before applying
Looking fwd to getting my sample so that I can try it on the challenge car's dashboard.

FYI this stuff dissolves in the presence of gasoline
Mine still hasn't shown up yet .
Kenny_McCormic Shoot me an email I'll see whats going on
@mr2peak unfortunately gas and a few other solvents will dissolve the product. Did it damage your project?
Last night our 350Z got wrapped:
You can find a few more photos on our Facebook page, although we'll be detailing the process in the magazine very soon. Short answer: neat stuff.
Has anyone used the spray yet for DIY letter or logo stenciling?
Very cool stuff, would love to try changing the color of my wheels... maybe one day...
Our next project will likely include some wheels.
A few years back, I unknowingly bought a cheap Chinese replacement bumper for my truck. It was brand new, but within four months, it started rusting through the chrome.
I took the plastic trim off and used naval jelly and steel wool to get rid of the rust. Once it was dry, I covered it with my free can of Eastwood Elastiwrap Gray Metallic. I love the way it came out. Thanks Eastwood!
OK You need at least 4 cans of the stuff to coat 18 x 13 wheels. Minimum, more like 5 if you really want to get four coats down after the scratch.
In my hands it seems really particular about the way that I have the piece mounted. IF if I shoot and lay the piece down and let gravity to the leveling it looks 2x better then a side spray pattern.
I feel like if I could thin the stuff out I could run it though a good lphv gun and get ride of a lot of the orange peel and do some really cool stuff. Not sure how anybody is masking this stuff out on top of something already sprayed. IE If I wanted to shoot say a standard camo pattern.
