Abstract

An elastomeric coating composition to enhance or alter the aesthetic appearance of an automobile. The coating composition can be applied by spraying onto either a vehicle paint job or clear coat and is semi-permanent upon drying. The coating composition can be manually removed from the vehicle by peeling without damaging the underlying paint job or clear coat on the vehicle. The coating is made up of a polymer, a mid-block modifier, a tackifier, a thixotrope, a solvent blend, an antioxidant, and a UV stabilizer. A matting agent, static electricity mitigation agent, and a silica suspension agent may also be incorporated into the composition. A 2K gloss can be applied to the coating composition after application.
