Its some thick glossy stuff make sure you use the hardener because the test part wasn't dry after 5 days.
Spaz what did you use to apply it?

I actually painted my third gen with it for '***** N giggles' I cant remember what the brand was but it was the gloss black tractor paint and the thinner also sold at tractor supply. turned out great actually minus a few flaws due to my crappy prep work and sanding lol
