Message	Several years ago I repainted all of my molding....however my windshield pieces were so far gone that the coating on them had already partially fallen off so it never looked 100% correct. It had been on my to do list for a while and I finally got around to it this weekend. This time I decided to take a different approach and go with Rust-Oleum Leak Seal followed by plasti-dip. My thinking on this was that the flexible rubber coating would look very close to the OEM appearance and would add the missing texture back. Worked great. The prep: You can really see here where the molding had lost its coating and the metal was showing through. and the end result...... and some pic whoring of my new Type 03's / Stoptechs :) Madhatter10-6
