we used that on our robot cart this year and there were a few problems with it:
1.) alot of prep work to follow the directions so it is bad for large objects.
2.) it is very runny and hard to get an even coat.
3.) it comes off way to easy, just a slight rub and it will come right off.

So i would only recomend it for small parts that wouldnt get hit or abused much

and u have a limited amount of colors: red, blue, yellow, green, purple, and a silver primer they have so u can do it on wood
