    We found a 1000'ft stretch right by my house we could use. Results: Doesn't do a dang thing. Came off easily with vinegar though.

    I let hussein shoot his car after I did, both of us pretty much same thoughts, didn't help at all, and way too dark with two coats. Pictures and his thoughts to follow when he gets back.

    Well that's a bummer. What gun did you guys use and what areas did you paint/target?

    When you say it doesn't do a dang thing, do you mean it doesn't even give you a few feet until pt? As in almost instant pt?
    One of the worst things you can be in life is blindly obedient to authority. It’s a forfeiture of your personhood—an acknowledgement of your nothingness.

    As in there was no noticeable difference between no veil and veil. We used my LRB and his PL3. My LRB has current calibration and is dead on.

    On the plus side, jammers on, he's JTG/JFG.

    Thank you for your time and effort to test this stuff. Thank you especially for the heads up.

    We tried one layer on all, then started to put a second layer on, it looked terrible. I gotta find my card reader before I can put my shots up, but he got some good pictures too.

    Thanks for being the first to do a test with the official shoe polish. I have yet to receive mine, but anticipate similar results.
