It's all relative, I guess. I bought a quart of primer, a quart of base coat, and three spray cans of base coat shipped to my door for $175. When I painted the South Bend lathe, the DTM paint was $65/quart and it still chipped off around the high use areas of the lathe. I found the Steel-It to dry fast (the primer where I started seemed to be basically completely dry by the time I wrapped around the lathe) and the top coat took about 2 hours to dry to the touch. I think that they do state that it gets harder over the next few days of curing. It seems pretty durable based on reviews in the off road car world, but I guess time will tell.
