I touched up and sprayed with my OEM Gecko
Color then over sprayed with the Rustoleum clear coat. No problems yet.

Had to do this to my 13 Rubi to clear for my 35's and it looks like it came that way from the factory...damn it was hard to start cutting on a $44,000 vehicle but this is what we do!

I just trimmed my rubi rails with a sawzall. I didn't think the saw would be powerful enough or provide a clean cut but it worked very well. Just make sure you have a blade for thick metal.

Anyone else notice the Top Fuel dragster (look-a-like?) in the last pic?!?

How is the Plasti-Dip holding up on the rings?
