I guess when you're charging that much for paint you can afford to powder your customer's fannies.

Not worth the money. Typically I would think this is ordered by the customer because it is a glossy coating with the "prestigious" 'of Europe' label to it. First time I worked with it was doing a guy's front door with the stuff a couple years back, and can't say it was really too much different than any other high gloss oil base coating in terms of appearance. But it still did look nice.

That said the stuff is an ABSOLUTE pain to work with for myself and my crew, typically we budget about 2-2.5 hours per coat for a fancy front door with no glass panes to work around (especially a door requiring an oil coating like the FPOE), but the paint has a very "sticky" quality to it when applied the door, and the more you add the slicker the topmost layer gets (it's oil paint obviously) but when applying it to previously unrepainted parts of the door, man that paint gets eaten up fairly quick. That'll make application very slow even more than usual, and on top of that made avoiding lap marks and flashing very difficult especially if you're working with higher gloss. This makes the whole operation very tedious and time consuming, and your brush technique has to be PERFECTLY straight because uneven brush marks will show through quite noticably. And oh yeah gotta apply it evenly so no flashing, no lap marks, AND a uniform coat because the slightest erros WILL show with the stuff. When it was all said and done it took about 4 hours to do the door, one coat, and the second coat took another 3 hours. And this was over an "easy to cover" previous color (we coated the door with Red)...needless to say we Budget more than 2-2.5 for this coating now...

But that door looked GREAT when it was finished...

Also the stuff REEKS quite badly even for oil paint so if you're working in a tight space you WILL want to bring your OSHA respirators
