    While I think that's an interesting video, if you really look at the finished product it looks pretty crappy. The finish looks like it's bubbling and a bit ragged. Granted, they did a crappy job of prep (a piece of vinyl tape over a rust hole?!?), but if you're just looking for a quick fix and don't care about the finished product, by all means this will do it. Autodip says the product can last for up to 5 years. I'm guessing on an off road vehicle that's a daily driver (not a show car like many of the examples) it's gonna last significantly shorter than that.

    Just trying to give the OP good advice here.

    You have to listen to what the commentator is saying, they aren't a full body workshop, they just dip. Yeah some bondo work on dents and dings, yeah some sanding and primer is needed for paint flaking, no work if the clear coat is flaking.
