Yes, essentially the same chemical make-up as paint ( I assume that it is a polyester similar to basecoat), just a different application process, and w/o a primer. But where does the 5X stronger statistic come from? This is the kind of unsubstantiated statement that prompted my rant in the first place. If it's true, then great. If people are looking to make educated choices, they need solid info. Not being a knob, just wanna get some clear info out there. Glad for the discourse.
