Anyone use this stuff? I'm specifically wondering about doing engine bay/compartment panels with it. My research indicates that people get decent to good results when done with a bit of a detailed process.

PS. I know.... you can powdercoat with great results in all sorts of colors. I have done quite a bit of my own powdercoating, but I doubt I can fit the engine bay panels in my old oven. I've not been happy with the local guy I have used in the past for big parts either.

I have used that in the past, looks great at first, but gradually started getting a yellow tint to it.

Yes, used it and in the engine bay. It was very early in the build and I didn't prep the aluminum as well as I should have. Used it in a couple of other spots later with better prep and seems to hold up well. Hopefully finishing off my build this year and will doing a couple of areas with it.
