Re: Great "Blackening" Stuff Found!

["frank n. furter" <wasserbox@yahoo.com>]

I bought that crap for my van about a year ago.  Maybe
it was just my bottle, but I will mever use that stuff
again.  I put it on, it lasted all of about 2 weeks,
then it faded leaving black streaks in the grey trim...
3 months later it was back to the original color, but
now looks a lil more oxidized... Oh, and I used
multiple coats, so that wasn't it...

My .02

And BTW - thanks to those that replied to my questions
about the battery tray.  I found some of that stuff
that "turns rust into black primer" last night at my
FLAPS (friendly local auto parts store) and will give
it a shot this weekend....
