Can you use it as a cover coat on metal (i.e. automotive)?

No, this is for fabric only. From the product description: "For all indoor and outdoor fabrics; carpeting, upholstery, marine canvas, fabric convertible tops, tents, breathable rainwear, hiking boots, fine garments including wool, silk and suede."

I would not use this product on metal. Use a spray vanish on small items But, on the car just use auto wax.

Yes you can, that's the first thing I did was use it as a plastic welder. I used it to repair a crack on my motorcycle fairing.

Personally I wouldn't use it for that purpose. I would get the proper metal cage for your vehicle designed to be a dog cage/barrier.

It totally works on metal to seal paint. They're not kidding about ventilation, however, and it'll melt styrofoam.

it is not designed for outdoor use, but if you just want some protection, it's a lot better than nothing. However, don't cheap out if you have a classic/special car. Get a better cover.

I wouldn't use it to cover that, since rust will spread. It's to cover parts so they don't get heated up.

You can if you want to melt it. I would not put it on until it cooled down to 100 or so. This is by far the best cover for a grill I have found.

I never tried it on the exterior of the vehicle. I only use product on my dashboard.

i am not sure... maybe call the company? i have only used on exterior and its fantastic... but it may be fine... i just would not recommend it without knowing `100% that it was safe... i was just told that some car products can cause cracking of leather on say a dash... so be careful and check with someone in the know... but i will say its great on the outside of a car!!!

I suppose you could apply a coating. I'm not sure the benefits would outweigh the costs, though. It would make the can just that much heavier. I'd imagine if you had to carry it any distance the coating would be abrasive against whatever body part it came in contact with.

The fabric version is not to be used on metal. I even tried it and it did not work at all. You have to use something like Home Armor Flex Seal.

Ok I did some research ... It can be used on any vinyl surface....marine applications are ok ,including fiberglass gel coat! Soooo I would yes you can,but not in the blazing sun! Good luck,Vicki D.

Not really, but the coating will discolor and melt off. I would advise against using this on something exposed to flame. At the least it would be a waste of effort putting the coat on.

Im sure you could. I dont see why not unless it requires special parts. Ive never put a cover on one though so my opinion might not be the best. Hope that helps.

Lets think. Cars made from sheet metal don't always withstand hailstorms. If it is the garden variety hailstorm that doesn't dent you'd car, I think it would be fine. If it is the major hailstorm that dents your car, better cover this thing up.
