Rhinoliner, and the like, dont hold up well in applications like bumpers,
from what I've been told. It gets cut and slices pretty easily by trees and
rocks. Plus, when you get hung up on your bumper (which never happens to me
;)) you want to be able to slide off. Spraying the areas you'd like
slippery with traction aiding rubber doesnt seem like a good idea. Although
it looks damned cool!
