Question Rubatone, wtf?

I am talking about the rubberized paint that's everywhere these days, its on a lot of electronics like portable HD's and such....But now it's on helmets as well. Does this shit hold up to abuse? And to the sun?

Leave a wet paper towel sitting on any bugs. They wipe off after a minute or two.
