Yes it is stunning. The process itself is interesting including a coat with aluminum rectangular flakes that are all aligned in the same direction. How they do that must be fascinating.

It looks nice but is not durable. It seems brittle and thin , it chips easily. I have multible hood chips to touch up with only 19k miles. I have kept i clean and used Klasse sealant.

Ours has 36K miles and there isn't a mark on the paint on the front of the vehicle. There are a couple of little spots along the rear edge of the driver's door that need some touch up, but the rest of the vehicle looks flawless yet...

We drove from NC to Port Canaveral Florida, last year. About a 10-10 1/2 drive each way. I think most of the paint damage was on that trip.
