While the primary commercial application is as explained on the website, it's also used on bikes. The issue is that the colors are a matte finish, but if you mix them with glossy white you get the pearl finish you see on my frame.
It's cheaper than paint since it requires less labor. You spray on one coat and bake it. No priming. No multiple coats. Strong or stronger than paint. Lighter than paint. Can't find the receipt at the moment, but IIRC, it was about $350 for the new, bare frame. Work done by Paint by Todd

OK, I understand now. It is actual color. Thanks.
I asked because I contacted one of the big ceramic paint protection companies to get a quote for my car and couldn't get them to return my calls or emails. Yours is not paint protection through. Thanks again.
