Jeff :

Zolatone is  indeed the  way to go.  I did mine that way and it looks good.
Though you need to follow it up with the epoxy clear coat that Zolatone
recommends. It will abrade if not clear coated Once that is done it is
tough  as nails and has a real good look to it. You will need  to get the
whole gallon of Zolatone that is what it takes.  Though the quart kit of
epoxy is more than enough. It consists of a quart of base plus a quart of
activator so in reality it is a half a gallon.  Zolatine needs to be
sprayed  using a pressure pot sprayer to do it right.  The nozzle needs to
be enlarged with a number drill so you don't bust up the speckels when they
come out.  The  best procedure is to spray the  inside of your wheel well
first to see how well you are spraying. That way you can adjust your
technique while not making a mess of  anything visible.
The Zolatone website has lots of  good information.
