We put some on the frame of my mom's little hot rod/ motorcylce trailer bout
3 years ago. It dries a semi gloss black, and has so far stayed that way.
The hardest part is the prep work(pretty simple)
1. wire brush/ blast/etc. the metal as clean as possible,
2. use their prep degreaser cleanser
3. paint
as everyone says-this is permanent- don't wear any decent clothes and keep
it off your skin unless you want people asking what that black spot is for
the next month
