For those of you wondering what Durabak is, I'll tell ya. Most of the folks on here are familiar with Empire's Herculiner'ed panels http://www.elementownersclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27292&highlight=empire+herculiner
Well I've found an alternative to the Herculiner that far surpasses it in both quality and durability. Yes, Durabak. It's a type of industrial coating that can be used for truck bedliners among other things. http://www.durabakcompany.com/
It adheres to most any surface. In our case, the composite panels of the Element. Cut to the chase, here's the details on the group buy:

They are offering us the bulk purchase discount which comes to approximately 8% off of the price. Not a bad deal considering a one gallon can costs about $110. Every color is available for the discount except for the basic textured Non-UV Black.

When you go to the site http://www.durabakcompany.com/ and place the order write "Element Owners Club Forum" in the comments section and they will apply the discount to your order.

I know I'll be taking advantage of this deal and I hope several of you do so as well. If not for application on the Element maybe for your garage floor (it's crossed my mind) or wherever else.

I think i'm going to order. Question is, How much do we need to do all the plastic bits on the Element.
Please let me know.. Thanks so much.

Well according to the website 1 One gallon can will do 2 coats on 60 sq/ft. I'm pretty sure one gallon will be enough to do all the plastic on the E. At least one coat on everything but I'm sure it'll do 2. That's what i'm hoping, anyway, cause that's what I ordered.

I'm planning on ordering 1 gallon for my E and another gallon for my dad's trailer and other various things :D

Got my order today.. now all i need is time.

Well it'll be a bit more time for mine, we just ever so barely crossed tax brackets this year so we got SCREWED again for the 3rd year in a row. We should've been getting thousands back with all the deductions and credits but AGAIN we ended up owing...:sad:

Maybe I'll use a bit of my "stimulus" check...

im waiting for someone else to do this before i make my order, i would like to see exactly what it will look like. also have to decide if i want to do black or a different color, any thoughts on what would look good against the TM paint?
 
#12 ·
I'm doing the smooth black on my SOP (though it IS cooler than the TM copycat :p ). I would think the black would look good on the TM too. I'll be applying mine on the weekend of april 18th.

nice, i was thinking of the textured black, as my panels are kinda scratched up from some of the desert backroads here in az, i have a friend that lives 10 miles down a dirt road and my E always gets scuffed up when i go out there.

That'd be cool too. I was just goin for the "painted" look. If I were you, I'd contact them and ask for a few samples. They'll send them in about 3 days (thats how long mine took) and just make sure you like the textured before you buy it. Plus you can see a couple other colors you might be interested in.
