it is known that 2.0 works well on clear bras, etc.

i am curious if applied to 1080 whether or not it would darken it in an undesirable manner.

i googled "opti-coat" and "3M 1080" and found a detailer's website (Detailed Appeal in CA?) that mentions they do film wraps and coating, but their number is not currently in service.

here is what i have that is wrapped - it's a Killer B radiator shroud for a current gen STI

i applied Opti-Coat several times throughout the day (probably 10 times spaced out) to see if it darkened it at all and it seemed to darken it slightly but it looks awesome either way. 2.0 is so much thicker than Opti-Seal though...
