Paint / coating on body wire holder

[SGTPaul]

Noticing the primer on the vinyl sleeve covers on the wire body wire holder that came on the panels from AMD is cracking and falling off. Looking at the original ones it appears to be a liquid coating on the holders that is more flexible and the paint is not cracking . What do you do with the ones from AMD to keep the paint on them or do u replace them with a coating like the original? Any advice appreciated. Thanks

I use electrical potting compound. Keep away from plastic dip it will crack later on.

Guess you could use heat shrink tubing.

Which of these 3 types do you prefer?

The types of potting material that you can choose from are:​

• Epoxy Potting Compounds
• Polyurethane Potting Compounds
• Silicone Potting Compounds

I don’t have any experience with any potting compound but it seems interesting, @HALIFAXHOPS , for this here application and valve covers too.

Epoxy is what I have.

@HALIFAXHOPS did you apply the compound with a brush or what to the tabs on the car? Thanks

Black Rubberized Undercoating - apply with a brush.

@gkent Will paint stick to this?

Uh, then why make a suggestion that doesn't fit the original question?
