Linseed can last up to a few months depending on rain and sun exposure. A thick treatment of several coats (waiting for each to dry) should last longer.

Well i put on 2 layers on each bumper and 2 on the grill about a week ago and they are still black as! :D Also it has been raining just about every day since i put it on so its pretty good as the water just runs off it as its oil

looking good mate, I've been meaning to try linseed oil for ages, just never got round to it. Worked a treat on yours by the looks of it.

It has been documented that this can lead to a world of pain dude. You may lose some paint/leave some marks. Plus, it looks a bit naff.

Up to you though.
