did two coats but noticed after a full day in the sun i saw a difference in areas i didnt do enough. So did a 3rd coat to make it all even and looks way better now with 3 coats

Wow it turned out pretty damn good. Ive always used mothers back to black on trim. I find it works well on some types of plastic but not all. It leaves a nice sheen to it too.

i was going to but heard it only lasts a couple months. SEM handled it permanently and still looks just as good as the first day it got done
