I've used this stuff - very tough and sticks like the proverbial.

Easy to spray, but the thinners will make you fall over unless you take precautions. Smells appalling as well!

It's very syrupy and difficult to brush it on nicely - you will always end up with brush marks. They suggested using a 2" gloss paint roller, which gives you a pleasantly bumpy "stippled" appearance.

Although it isn't damaged much by UV, it is a matt black finish that scuffs if knocked - just a pale mark, not chipping - so a top coat is probably a good idea. The same company sells a range of 2-pack topcoats to suit.

As an example of its durability, I did my bottom wishbones with a brush. I decided that it didn't look nice so tried to get it off... I've decided to give then to a local bead-blaster as life is too short!
