Great. Wonder who we complain to? May send them a message about it.

I will back you up on that. Tried BMF on a car earlier this year, just DIDN'T stick.

Oh, there have been numerous complaints about the “new” BMF for quite some time now - a year maybe? I haven’t heard any new developments of them solving their defective product.

You could email them your complaint and get a replacement. I don't know if it’s a bad batch or they did change the formula on the adhesion of BMF.

Well, this is somewhat dissapointing.....the color, that is. It is MCW Fresh Plum Metallic Gloss Lacquer. Not sure what I was expecting, but this isn't it. It will be okay, though. Now to let it cure out for a day or two.

Looks more red tjan plum. What does the bottle label say? Or did they send you the wrong color. Either way, it looks good.

It is the lights. It looks like what it was advertised to be. It does look terrible.
