I wonder if that stuff would work on my dog
I'd sure put that on my plane. Cleaner, more resistant to bugs, more corrosion resistant, and resistant to inadvertent ice.
What more could you ask for?
something that could be painted at some point after this is applied?
I was wondering if the paint they speak of would work for ice or corrosion.
EDIT.: Went to the website, guess so.

I'd be interested in testing it come icing season... Provided it doesn't have harmful side effects on my very expensive boots.
I don't think I'd put it on boots. If I were going to test it I'd put it on some non-protected surface that normally ices up and only on one side of the plane so you could compare.
I'm thinking the nav light covers, or may by the fuel caps, or spinners or something you can see from the cockpit. If one ices up and the other is clear ya know it works.
Good point. Actually an ideal point for comparison to start would be the leading edge between the engine nacelle and the fuselage. Gets ice, easy to see, and has no boots there.
We will anxiously awaiting your test results!
Their website says ice buildup on aircraft wings but they show no links or point to any applications of it on an airplane.
Has anyone put this stuff on their plane?
I put it on a hat - does that count?
It works as advertised, but it does leave a textured surface like very light frost.
I'm getting ready to build a large metal building and have been wondering what to coat the framing with. I'm going to have to look at the cost, and application but I might try this. I really hate painting and if this stuff will go 15 years outside and repel water it might be worth a look. Or, I could just do a part of the frame in this stuff and the rest with some metal etch primer and then regular paint and compare.
I think you're going to find that it would be incredibly expensive to coat an entire building with.
