Klasskote covers nicely in just a couple of coats. I get the impression from using it once that you could make a lighter finish than with PPG paints, but it's just an impression. I have not had time to do a careful comparison.

You will not get the same kind of gloss that PPG paints provide, but it's better looking than film covering, and it's durable. I'm told that over the years, the finish can start to look a little chalky if not clear coated. I assume that could be rubbed out though.
