You're absolutely right about the lack of "tooth." Haven't put any parts in service yet as this is the only one I've done so far with Metalcast, but they sell adhesion promoter with this line of paints so it might be safe to assume they took the durability aspect into consideration when they developed it. (Maybe.)

It's funny that you mention this though, because this is actually the "cheap" alternative to a paint that I recommended to the thread's originator, which IS specifically formulated for durability concerns, but the likes of which I can't mention here...
