Most epoxy spray paints carry instructions to avoid outdoor use. I tried
them on a tube bumper I fabricated for an old Jeep (glass with a 350 Chev
motor). As promised by the can, it didn't fare so well over time outside.
Epoxy tends to break down when exposed to UV for long periods. The bumper
was badly chalked after a couple years, while the other paint on the vehicle
was fine. Dave may have found an epoxy paint that's immune, but check the
can carefully if you want to use it on your Max.
best,
Sat Tara
