Why would they warranty it against anything except issues because of improper installation, UV fading or some kind of material defect?
Of course I meant things like bubbles, discoloration, improper fit, damage from simple washing and regular use/driving, etc.
You get into an accident and damage the vinyl, that's on you to replace. They still do it panel by panel, it's not a single sheet covering the car. You damage the fender, you only need to replace the vinyl on the fender. If you're worried about the costs, get a supplemental policies for aftermarket modifications. I doubt your standard policy would cover it, it wouldn't cover a carputer or twin turbo install.
True.
My questions are all direct towards knowing if this is for a "show car" or for a "daily driver" type of mod. If it strong enough to withstand highway daily driving - with warranty, etc...I mean, this thing looks so tightly fit, it strikes me as a super special show car mod, that it wouldn't last 110F outside temp+shock of cold water without bubbling or losing the fit, stone chipping at 80mph, etc.
I've seen flat black hot rods and trucks, but I took it as real paint, though. Got ask next time.
Did a search, look what I found:
Hot Rod Flatz:
Hot Rod Flatz is a fast drying two component chemical resistant urethane finish that provides excellent adhesion to properly prepared steel, aluminum, fiberglass and OEM finishes. Hot Rod Flatz also contains UV inhibitors to protect your finish from fading and chalking like traditional primers. Now you don't have to be limited to just primer for your flat look. With 36 traditional to wild Hot Rod solid colors and 20 metallic and pearl colors to choose from, customize your ride with Hot Rod Flatz.
Funny: "Now you don't have to be limited to just primer for your flat look" An alternative to Primer? Hah, maybe people were buying Infiniti's black primers to get the flat black look (boy, I hate that primer).
Another alternative I've found:
John Deere tractor paint:
John Deere Blitz Black is enamel paint manufactured by Valspar Paint for John Deere for the purpose of painting tractors and farm equipment. It's popular among hotrodders for the following reasons:
It's inexpensive.
It has a reputation for extreme durability.
It provides the look of a primered "rat" or "traditional" hot rod (described as: "flat clear", "suede", "satin", or "semi-gloss").
It's easy to touch up.
Although John Deere Blitz Black paint can be applied with typical materials, John Deere recommends using their own primer and reducer. The paint and the primer are typically $25 dollars for a gallon, and the reducer is about $15 for a quart. JDBB products also come in spray cans.
