Wow...looks great in general. Not bad at all...just a little dull, but look as if it were a few years old.

I dunno, I think if you used a high speed buffer like the guy said it might shine up like a normal automotive paint? Pretty interesting to say the least. I'm pretty intrigued by that thread, and I'm thinking of reading the whole thing. I'm on page 5 now.

Hahahaha. Thats nice.What about the fact car paint has uv protectors so the paint doesnt fade like that paint will.

What do you expect for $50. Think it looked pretty good for the price. Definitely not show car material but might be good for a daily driver or a boat trailer that needs some work.

Google turned this up for me.
Tremclad is a Canadian company but owned by Rustoleum. Tremclad is not sold in the US and they will not ship to the US. Rustoleum has different formulations for California and the other 49 states. Some folks had good luck with Rustoleum Pro versions in California but variable results with the Rustoleum standard.
