Well I haven't tried with primer yet so it's cracking but I have to go buy primer after I'm done with work.... The red was also a fail lol.

I guess I just have to wait to buy some primer

Just to let everyone know that if your planning on doing this you're suppose to sand the silicone first with really fine sandpaper....

Also the primer has to be oil based same with the color.....work both with 2 coats

Wouldn't a clear coat of 3m or scotch guard do the trick without adding any of the "cracking" or stiffness issue ? I'm no expert, but if dust attraction seems to be the problem you would mostly likely just want to seal the original surface.....

Interesting but surprisingly no one has tried plasti-dip yet. I might since I have a couple generics I can fool around with before I touch my incipio
