Its been about two weeks since I put it on the car and it still looks new. Used dupli-color.

Does look really shiney! Two weeks isn't very long though. I am only taking in the sense that if it only lasted a few weeks before you had to redo it or touch it up it wouldn't be worth it to most.

I would say if it still holding up after at least 4 - 6 months then its pretty good stuff. But a year and some change is the real test.

I did my old neon cover the same way, it held up awesome for 6 months and still looked nice when I got rid of the car, a few spots on the back side scratched up but still nice.

And I have an extra cover so if this one wears out the other will be pre painted and ready to install lol.

Good deal...well after a few months take some in bay pics and show everyone how well it holds up to the elements.
