Default Anyone covered with silver Ultracote?

Have any of you used silver Ultracote or Mono to cover large surfaces? I am worried it will easily show any imperfections in the surface covered. Also have you had luck using black on large surfaces? My concern is black will absorb to much heat and wrinkle in the sun.

both colours are nasty to work with. Silver is tough cause it shows imperfections under the covering, black shows every tiny little scratch, dent or wrinkle. Unless you have perfect surfaces that you are covering and use a soft cloth all the time to clean up, I would suggest you choose other colors.

Black looks great but in the sun it not only wrinkles it we pull back like you hit it to long with A heat gun.Hooked is write stay away from black use it for trim only.
