I painted my little Toyota truck the same way. The work is all in the prep. And it turned out really nice but the paint looses its shine in the sun. I got about two years out of it now I’m ready to cut it and try to bring the shine back up. Wish I would have used a higher quality paint.but I do believe it makes a durable thick finish. If it doesn’t last this time I’m going to find a material I can go straight over it
