I got this from the Mar-K site and it is the ONLy coating that has not failed the "Sun and weather testing. They have a excellent wirte-up on the different coatin gyou can use, check it out. Since my ride will be garage kept, it should last a long time.

thanks, definitley going custom. not much on the truck will remain stock except the cab itself. it will look similar to this one
