They did a boat for me about 15 years ago and it is still in great shape. Counterpointe and Polomyx Airless are both applied with airless spray equipment. Flex, our newest finish, is roller applied. Yes it can! We don't blame your painters for not knowing this, a paint this awesome is hard to fully understand.

Frequently Asked Questions You've got questions? As you might know, it comes in different colors so one can semi match it the exterior paint. Back then, we had to use a special primer, white in color, and then the splatter coat. We used it on the inside, and what we discovered was it would hide small dings and bubba repair jobs simply by letting the splatter coat build up.

It is very very duriable. Wears well and it looked great. I plan on using it, once again, inside my '47 simply because I like how it looks and wears. OK and hides dings LOL.

One advantage to it is it's fairly easy to keep touching up in a bedliner type application, but don't expect it to stay on like bedliner.

JeepsterJim, good to hear that you have had positive results with Zolatone. I saw in online Zolatone info that they have their own proprietary primer, but then read elsewhere where other high quality primers work too. I suspect that one would get the best adhesion using the Zolatone brand primer. Roc, I've never seen Zolatone actually peel or flake off, but these were all interior applications on Airstream aluminum.

I've seen some of the rubberized bedliner applications peel off pretty quickly. I've also seen some bedliner applications that look like they might be just all-black Zolatone. I am wondering if there are any issues when used in more exposed situations, like lining a jeep tub, or the wheel wells. UV-resistance is something that would be a worry if used as a bedliner, though not so much as a wheel well-liner.

I'm thinking that Zolatone might be a durable alternative to traditional paint for high wear, rust-prone surfaces on a jeep that is being restified, not necessarily restored to blueprint specs. One man's "AHA" moment another man's "Bubbification"? Zolatone scratches and gouges quite easily and once there is even the slightest opening for moisture the metal underneath will start to rust. What compounds the problem is that Zolatone will hold the moisture in and once started the rust will continue to creep under the coating.

IMO, not a good idea. These jeeps took 65 years to rust away with the original factory paint on them. Paint has come a long way since then and with just a little maintenance they will most certainly outlast our lifetimes, unless it's parked on a North Carolina beach every Winter in which case the bed might still be there but the rest of the jeep will be gone.
