Armour Coat question

February 19, 2013, 08:09:13 am

Looking to do a headlight conversion when budget permits.  I know quite a few coaches have had the Armour Coat put on the front of the coach and I was wondering if you are pleased with that product...

Thanks to all

We have had Amour coating on the front of our coach for three years.  It is great...much easier to keep the front clean and shiny. The factory paint shop did the work.

We are pleased with our coating that FOT paint shop installed after our FOT headlights.  We did pick up a chip on our way to Palm Springs so the verdict is still out on how well Justin can repair it.  As for bug guts, way easy to keep the front clean!  I'm happy with it so far!

I had it done to my coach and I'm happy with it. I too have one chip. The rock hit so hard it chipped out the paint behind the amour coat down to the primer. I don't think anything will stand up to a determined rock at 60 mph.

see ya

I also had Biscuit@ FOT put it on my front end, and also have a chip in it down low on the passenger side, not a concern to have repaired yet. Not sure I will have it  repaired until a larger issue shows up.
Agree, bugs seem to be less of an issue too. 
Would I have it done again ? Jury is still out on that one.
$1,500.00 because they had to redo the front when had the new style fog lights installed, so got a reduced price 
What ever, enjoy

I have it on my coach as well. Without a doubt its great! No chip issues at all, protects paint, and does not crack or yellow. Some high end sport cars are using a clear heat applied plastic that forms to the lines of the vehicle when applied...guess that would be another option. As I understand the Armour Coat...it is painted on, I also had Biscuit put in on my tow.
