...yes, it can, depending on how thickly it is applied. It is never as well defined as paint, which is one reason why you don't see it used a lot on the higher end restorations. Much preferable (usually more expensive) is one of the two part mixed auto paints like Imron, which is pretty tough, but goes on pretty thin as a paint.
