Here is an angle shot of the "professional" almond color. I had just finished the polish job. The rest of the test area I painted was prepped even worse so this was the best surface to show.

To me, the reflection looks a little "sharper" in this paint then it does in the non-professional stuff. I was in a hurry to finish this application of the professional, i think it would look smoother if I had spent a bit more time wetsanding with 6 or 800 grit. All else being equal, I think I would choose this paint to use over the standard rustoleum.

I was able to use my fingernail to scrape away part of the "professional" test area, but I'll resist the urge and give it a few weeks before trying again. Interesting that right before I scraped the professional side, I scraped the old side again, and the professional side was harder to scratch than the old (standard) side, and the professional side got 2 coats just yesterday.. so maybe it does harden quicker...
