Never used it. It looks nice in a photo with talented users, though photos of anything from a distance always look better than real life.
From my extensive research last year prior to painting a couple bikes..it looks good in the short term and is easy to use. If you want high gloss..you won't get it. Long term, with normal bike use,...meh...as far as durability.
For $8 more a can, with no shipping, you can use custom-filled rattle can auto paints and two-part clears**. Clears can be matte to super high gloss. Colors..probably a thousand or more to choose from, from solid base coats to metallics to pearls to candies (look at any can anywhere..the paint is available). I figured, as long as I'm going through the time and effort to paint a bike..might as well take a long-term approach and get the best appearance too.
Search for a local auto parts store that supplies local painters with paint. They can mix up and load rattle cans in a few minutes.
**Auto paints are really easy to use and are very fast to work with, but you do need a good respirator when spraying..less than $50.
