Yes, but it obscured some of the details and I'm not crazy about the texture (though I could probably have been more careful with the spraying than I was with the crappy set of hoods I tried it out on.) I don't have them mounted to anything so I have no idea how durable it will be either, but they seem to be fine in that regard...I'm just not crazy about the "pebbly" texture...I think it kind of looks cheap and industrial. Perhaps the dip would be smoother; I used the spray version...but you may have to worry about the dip making the coating too thick also.
