I have the results. I looks like most all of them were successful and this clear looks amazing on silver. I used the glamour clear that is glossy. They do not need to be color sanded except for the darker colors like black, green and blue. If you want a more matte finish you can color sand and polish at a later date otherwise the glamor finish brings out the flake.
I have some redos which I will be taking care of Sunday as that is also a good day to paint. What ever I have remaining will go towards the redos and what ever I have remaining I will announce Wednesday and they will be for sale for anyone that wants them.

Therefore a good number of the covers will be ready to ship Wednesday. The ones that require color sanding will follow.

I just wanted to give you all an update on shipping. I have already shipped out a good number of orders over the last two days.
I still have another good amount to complete and I am working towards completion. Instead of shipping out another batch today I and going to keep working until they are all completed and then I should have everything shipped out Thursday.

thanks for your patience.

You won't find a warranty like that on any other forum. Thanks Dev.
The actual rubber is not very expensive. I priced it accordingly as you are all buying me a cup of overinflated Starbucks cup of coffee for the developmental costs.
I will publish an install video tomorrow.

First I want to say thanks to all those that participated and a special thanks to Murray for his persistence in getting me to make these again. All of the orders have shipped and are on their way. If you go to your PayPal account you should find a tracking number. If anyone needs the tracking number please PM me and I will look it up for you.

I have a few covers that did not make it that I tested for durability. Keep in mind that the clear has not fully hardened but I was amazed at how strong the 2k clear is when I tried to intentionally damage them. When I went to recycle the covers by sanding down the finish with 220 grit sand paper I was also impressed that both the clear and the flex primer was tough to burn though so I have a good feeling about these compared to past versions made with 1k clear coat but still handle with care as they are a painted finish.
Nothing is certain but time will tell how they hold up with the heat, UV and environmental factors.

If anyone has any issues please contact me first though PM and I will take care of you. Apart from that It has been a pleasure to make them for all of you and I am blessed from all the support you have given me for almost 20 years since I started making them for this community of owners.

I published a new Installation video for the Door Isolators. The one I shot last week was longer than it had to be and it was missing a few details. I wanted to make it simple as possible so it's easy to follow.
Here it is. If anyone has any questions please let me know. I hope these work well for everyone.

 
Installed the isolators, and the lock cylinder covers, and like them both but, WOW, my doors are hard to open. About sunset, when it cools off some I'm going to sand down the isolators some and hopefully that will help. I do like their effect on the car in bumps so I just have to get it so the doors are able to open and all will be right with the world. Just "fitting" the mod to my car. Very happy with the purchase, thanks Dev

Great to hear. Before you do any sanding, the isolators might be grabby when first installed. Let them break in for a week and then do any adjustments. If after a week and they are still grabby rub some carnauba paste wax on them to get them to lubricate. They should conform to the door and then there will be no grab. Every door clearance is different so results will vary.
If you do plan to sand them down if all else fails make sure to do it on the tape side.
 
Mine also were pretty tight. My driver door had to be shut firmly to get it to close fully, but they seem like they will adjust after time.

I only have 2 sets of black remaining. Both have slight blemishes that you wont really see and I can discount them to $20 a pair if you are interested otherwise I don’t have plans to make more until the the fall.
Just let me know.
Late reply, I take a set if you still have them.
