Yes we are talking about the same stuff. I was on the board here when that tread was ongoing. Yes it's durable, compared to spray paint. Still sub-par. I dislike base/clear in general, I have spent too much time fixing peeling clear done by other backyard hacks so for solid colors I stick with single stage and only use base/clear for metallics or repairing existing clear coat. I have found generally that the budget line auto paint systems are reasonably priced these days so that an extra 100 bucks upgrades you out of the hardware store aisle. Bottom line, you have the product and you're going to use it. For the same money you could have got something significantly better, not mention the time and effort that could have been saved.
