"U-Fix-It Chassis and Rollbar Paint Semi Gloss"
Left=2 coats
Right=Cleaned with Plastic Parts Cleaner
=Much Better 
I really suggest this! I don't have shot of them on the car yet though. You'll also know how the DIRT buildup is coming along behind these liners.

Word. Why didn't you use some rubberized undercoating spray. Cut's down on road noise, dirt on the lines just sprays away and won't flake off like paint.

I figured this is better than regular paint. It's designed for areas that do get chipped and banged around. Would a hard clearcoat do any protection guys?

I layered on rubberized undercoating. Dirt sprays right off and eliminated alot of road noise.

Rollbars aren't made to FLEX like plastic wheelwell liners. The paint needs to have a flex component in it. Rubberized undercoating would have been better like was mentioned.
