I think I sanded the covers lightly with a finishing sand-paper, then laid a very light coat of primer, then a couple coats of this - then let it sit in the hot sun for about an hour before I ...

Re: WTB 1000DS black cam belt covers

I sprayed mine with a textured black paint from Checker - and that was before heading to Alaska. Looks great and has held up just fine.
