Summary
This is a “special requirement” paint. I wouldn’t use it for too many things due to long drying time, fingerprinting and smell. But if you need a bright color, like white or yellow, then this is the paint. The super high gloss has to be seen to be believed. Not for everyday use, but when you need it, you need it.
I’ve managed the gloss white; gloss yellow… ugghhhhh.
