Why didn't Ford make this for the Raptor

[daddycreswell]

If there ever was a auto that need this paint, it's the Raptor. Seems Nissan has come up with a paint that basically cleans itself, it repels mud, dirt, etc..

That is cool technology...

I guess the question, like the article states: The cost of the paint has not been revealed – or how long its repellant features lasts before needing a re-coat (Scratch Shield lasts around 3 years).

Still sounds really cool!

Ultra Ever Dry - Waterproofing Coating - Industrial - Tools - Clothing

Never mind this stuff dry's to a white haze. that's no good. but there are other similar products tat may work better and dry clear.

I have a feeling the scratch shield wouldn't make it a year with most people on here..

There's a number of those super hydrophobic nano coatings on the market, neverwet is another one that got picked up my rustoleum among others, they're used from everything from non skid surfaces on boats, to ketchup bottle insides to you name it. Most of them are very expensive. Even the best ones I've seen require periodic re-application for it to maintain its effectiveness.

I bought some a couple years ago to play with on my sailboat that I race, fun stuff but I'm pretty sure the hydrophobic qualities have totally worn off of everything I put it on now.

This new stuff uses nano technology, it's supposed to be pretty bad ass.
