There's clear, interesting. Is it really clear or does it give a matte look?

Just thought of another use. I plan to wrap my roof with CF vinyl this weekend, I think I will plastidip the sharkfin rather than the hassle of wrapping it.

Great DIY! This thread shows how pictures are worth 1,000 words.

However, plasti-dip has been introduced to the 2IS section in this black-out grill surround thread:

There's a "Clear" option in the Colors link you posted.
