Perhaps some but the one I saw looked like a simple spray job judging by the
overspray. I would think that you'd be more careful with epoxy because it
is expensive and unremovable.

wElLcom two thu nu aMurica. Some pigs seem to think they can lower their
work standards because they only need to compete with the Chinese.

I have seen very few of these done right, and those that looked
reasonably good were done with 2 part epoxy coatings or Imron. It was
due to the ability to get rid of graffiti off an Imron surface that one
building in the city was done this way.

Don't do it. Think of the variation as adding charm to an old house.
