Hey if you need 2,500 people, just market it as adding 25 HP to the wheels. I’m sure there are plenty of people who would dump 16 cans of that on there car! Or you could repaint your home? Hahahaha… ---

you should talk to those owners of those mini’s(nissan hardbody/Mazda B2200) and get a group buy going for it. They can paint their bedliners rubberized red. And, I always see flat black/rubberized nissan hardbody’s, so you can always convince those people thats its the new thing to do. ---

This is more of a ghetto winter beater type paint job, it would look similar to a flat black s14 if you’ve seen one. ---

It should all look the same if you can apply it evenly. It’s all in the spraying technique. Try not to overlap etc. or it will look like the hood (spoty with bloches.) ---

If thats your preferance go with just plain flat black primer. Rubberized Flat black needs to be removed first, and that costs well over $1000. If its a temorary thing, paint it Flat black primer, Like me. I’m going to do that to my beater as soon as I eliminate all my rust spots. Rubberized is something you do when you know you want it that was for good.
