    I tried bondo forever black. It was super streaky on my VX. Looked awesome in color and texture and it lasted at least 8 months before it finally started to fade.

    It worked amazingly on the trim on my Saab, nice and smooth too but for some reason it did not like the vx cladding and was very streaky.

    Cladding

    Used two products successfully.

    I used Forever Black which was a very glossy black but you have to put it on in single layers, if you wipe a still wet area it will streak. Let it dry in between coats. Lasted a few years but will come off with road scouring.

    I then used Krylon Plastic Black spray paint with excellent results just not as glossy. It has lasted for a few years also.

    I constantly have people thinking it is a new vehicle.

    Was that just the off the shelf rattle can variety, or did you have to have it professionally sprayed on and baked.

    I noticed my cladding being a little dirty the other day, and just used what was available. I still had a partial bottle of the Turtle Wax Ice stuff, and just made a couple of rounds to put on a fresh coat. It looks good for now anyway.
