So uh I did the plasti-dip thing..
Being that my hood is finished for the most part, but not final primed/painted, I fig wth. Heard all this goodness about the plasti-dip, so I took a ride to the depot to snag a few cans.. For the most part it is ok.. I have seen vids where the people just sloped it on and it turned out nice( well in the videos) I took my time, cleaned the area, all really nice.. Did about 3 coats evenly.. Has some areas in it that didn't come out as nice as others.. Given it still needs to dry as the directions say 4 hours to dry per coat 
i do not se it getting better, but the next day mite tell a diff tale.. I think for wheels and small things it would be great, but for a large area like a hood, it is not going to flow out and dry even... Will get some pics up.. Basically wanted to give it a shot, because I am really considering just painting the hood satin black, or even a 2 tone gloss/satin.. That is all

Yeah idk if I would have done an entire hood with it seeing that the pair of wheels I did came out OK.. Being wheels it wasnt a big deal and the main purpose was it covered up some nasty curb rash very nicely

yah I do not no about clearing it, as it is not a hard like finish, has kinda texture to it.. Also some things you can not clear, it could bubble and be a real pita..
