Product review (2 stars): Much darker than stainless, see attached photo.
It's much darker than stainless and doesnt really look like metal - more like a metallic dark grey wall paper.  I've attached a photo that shows what it looks like next to real stainless.  I'm not very happy with the way it looks, perhaps if it was a lot brighter I could deal with the wallpaper look.

I had to make a standoff for a new utility sink because of plumbing and I used this to cover it.  It went over wood and it was a relatively narrow application so I didn't have any problems with bubbles, but I discovered it doesnt like going around 90 degree angles and needs to be creased like paper to give a crisp corner.  The creasing can be done by temporarily putting back the backing and doing your fold, then remove the backing and install it.  It's easily twice as thick as normal con-tact paper and quite a bit stiffer.
