    I had goat armor last year when they only sold black and winter camp (which no one had winter camo, they had only 1 photo of a vehicle with winter camo).
    It definitely works as intended, I liked it for that.
    What I did not like was how meticulous it was to put on. The magnets are very strong and everything sticks to it, they have to be very clean, the truck has to be very clean. Then once it's all on, I never took mine off, it gets dirty underneath.
    For me it was too much maintenance with the cleaning, placing each panel on correctly, making sure everything is lined up.
    It has a lot of good to it, just not for me.
    I also recently got my truck filled clear bra'd so no need for goat armor

    If he had advertised the custom stuff, I would have done something more obnoxious.

    I like the thought of topographical maps on the goat armor...

    My only question is if it'll get stuck to the truck? I had a magnet on my last car and it was embedded to the trunk lid after like 2 weeks... It's also possible that I had a cheap magnet though...

    That will not happen. To make it stick to my truck better I used a heat gun

    They need to come off every week or two. These pull at 60lb per square inch. Paint is porous. The magnet is literally trying to pull itself to the metal. When you take the soft rubber that encapsulates the magnets and put it between the metal and the magnet, it will pull into those micro pores in the paint over time. It is important to break that contact regularly.

    And the heat gun....if it’s cold out and the magnets are cold, they don’t conform super well to the truck. A heat gun should only be used on a very low setting and just enough to warm up the truck panel and the magnet.

    Correct. I used it so that the magnets contour to the lines better
