I was also concerned with this issue but I read some other thread where his didn't rub off at all. And I can also confirm this aslong as it's done at the proper temp and proper cure time is allotted. I've had no problems at all even with the car sitting in the sun for a few. The only problem that will initially occur is that it will be a little stiff, but after breaking it in it will fit like a glove! (Massaging the painted sections and rubbing down on it helps ) Good luck

Never thought light blue calipers would blend well with a GG.

I started out using light coats then moved on to heavy coats once you've got everything covered. The seats are gonna be rough initially but once you break em in there gonna feel fine.
