    EXTREMELY cool Kat. I'm going to be really interested to see if this turns out to finally, really be permanent. That would rock.

    The fact that it penetrated deep enough to color the plastic you had sanded off give me a lot of hope.

    I know you'll keep us posted.

    Also, FREAKING CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I'm glad you are finally happy with your cladding. It looks amazing now. Awesome, also, thanks for being the guinea pig!

    very nice. how dark is the gray by it's self? Will wait for a six month southwest sun beating down on it to decide. This doesn't mean another color change does it
    Greetings, Earthling. We come in peace... Never mind "Paris to Dakar", the VehiCROSS looks ready for the Martian desert.

    It's about the color of my OLD cladding....really...a pretty light gray. I sent pics to the prez of company and she said it did appear "likely" my cladding had their gray dye on it, or something similar.

    Because mine is garaged 24/7 except when driving it, it's not ever going to get a true "AZ" sun beating....so won't be a fair test.

    Really wanted to get this cladding issue taken care of now because I can't wait for Rowhaard to ship my silver skid plates. The darker cladding will look so much better with the silver plates!

    Got it all really muddy yesterday thanks to 4" of snow melting on my dirt road, so first test will see if the mud had any affect on it.

    UPDATE: Drove it through heavy mud, let it sit on it for 2 days.
    Took it to drive through car wash today....

    a) It's still on despite being blasted a little with the pressure washer in the beginning of the tunnel....
    b) It all came clean, with no staining or other marks !!
    c) It wiped dry with a rag, no color or anything came off on towel!!
    d) It's still dark gray!!


    STAY TUNED.................
