What kind of longevity are you guys getting from this paint?

I didn't get much life out of it. The paint lasted maybe a month before natural foot traffic faded its use. I was going to try tape, but that would leave a sticky residue when removed. A friend finally told me about aluminum treads by Handi-Ramp. This is what I bought: B005PPZXE8

We actually just used it this last weekend, so I can't tell the length we will get from it, but I can tell you that so far we are very pleased with the results, we painted the whole inside of our boat with this, right over the fiberglass, it has small specs of rubber in the paint so the deck is slip free, and the paint dries good and thick, only used one coat, but thinking about going over it again with another coat since we have a good bit left over.

I've had my application down for 3-4 months on a wood deck surface & it's showing no signs of wear or fade through daily use. I like the product & make sure your mix it THOROUGHLY, before use

Longevity isn't its strong suit. I have used one other much cheaper wax that has lasted longer. But its superior wet shine, ease of application and its resistance to staining plastics and rubbers make it better. I live in New England. The summers are hot, and the last couple winters have been very harsh. The wax experiences a wide range of environments so I would put the 3 month period that I experienced at the low end of what it should last.

It is metal with a what looks to be a powder coat paint. I think it would eventually get surface rust, but if it doesn't need to look pretty, it would probably last for years outside.

I've used it about a year ago for outdoor purposes and it's survived all weather and climates without cracking or crumbling. It's definitely paintable.

I bought a new Ford Supercab pickup in 2002. Shortly after that I bought a bottle of Klasse Sealant, and Klasse AIO. My Ford still gets compliments on the paint. I have tried to apply this every spring, and fall for the last 13 years. There were a few years, I only applied it in the Fall. I just finished my fall application, and may have enough for next spring's application. The Klasse AIO went a bit faster, I have used about a 1/4 of my 2nd bottle. I usually apply 1-2 coats of AIO. and 1-5 coats of the Sealant. You will learn to use less, and less of the Sealant as you gain experience with it. Seems to be expensive when you 1st buy it, but it is less than the cheap stuff, if you use it correctly. I bought a new Ford Supercab pickup in 2002.

we have had ours about 9 months. Seems to be holding up good so far; but I threw some lacquer on it after we got it.

M/S paints are exceptionally good quality paints. Some of them are a bit thick, the high-gloss paints, more so than others. Paints also get thicker as they age. I don't know what the shelf life is on these paints, but I have found that they do tend to thicken to almost a "gel like" substance the older they get. Adding water is okay and does not effect the outcome of your project - as long as it's only a small amount of water. Too much water will make the paints lose some of the gloss effect and will not cover as thoroughly. If the paint is too gel like or too thick already, I would advise buying a new bottle (or set) to insure the best outcome for your project. The paint should Not be 'gel like' brand new. It should be thick but easily useable. A word of caution: Hobby and Craft stores, as well as Paint stores, often put their paints On Sale as they enter the end of their factory recommended shelf life. The paints are still good, but best used right away. Paints are also put On Sale as new colors hit the market and old ones fall out of favor, so not all paint 'on sale' has necessarily reached it 'sell by' date! I hope this info is helpful!

Flat black maybe with a light gloss. We put 2 more coats of paint on it to make sure it lasts! Our truck is 15 years old and was to the point where even the frame had rusted through in a couple of places. We cleared the rust and painted and it's good for another 15!

I've had less than a year, but it's not paint, it's fired on glaze on pottery. It should last long time...

Agree with Joan. Just let it sit overnight. As with all of these touch-up paints, none of them last forever. You WILL occasionally have to re-touch once in a while. But Porcafix is SOOOO much better than the garbage that you will now find in Lowe's or Home Depot.

I am not the representative for this company, but I would. In my humble opinion, I think this paint is very nice. I sanded the fire out of some coat racks and went with it. It has a nice finish. You may wish to do 2 coats. I can't remember if I did. I'm not a purist or a perfectionist, but I would. I was prompted by Amazon comment monitor to respond, so maybe this will be of some help. Have a nice day!

That sounds like a flaw. I have used mine for well over a year and have never experienced paint problems.

Hey Fred, as I mentioned in my review I only recently used the product for the first time. It generally takes a while for painted-over rust to start bleeding through, so I cannot vouch for the permanency of the application. But the job turned out beautifully, and it was a good bet for me, because installing a new door would have been many times the cost of the Plasti-Kote. There are a few users who have uploaded to YouTube their Plasti-Kote jobs; perhaps you could reference one of them.

I think that the paint is likely quite durable. All of these products are high quality toys.

Mine still looks new after a couple months of rolling around my truck. No missing paint so far.

I've seen 6 months to 2 years. Depends on where it is used. After 6 months I started to see peeling on the edges of my rims but some people paint body parts which they claim still look ok 2 years later. Touch ups are easy.It looks great at first, but after it gets older and dirty it is obvious it's plasti dip
