On the work I've done with the epoxy paint, I also covered with 
hammerite to get the right colour. I dropped a spanner on said bit a few 
days later and it chipped the hammerite strait off exposing the still 
intact epoxy underneath. I know which I'd rather have under the car 
getting hit by road debris.
