Anti-graffiti use is the first thing that sprung to my mind as well.

As you said, it may all be hype- but if it delivers, I suspect that the company making it (UltraTech?) is going to have a nice few years ahead of it :)

How about making graffity with it in a rainy place? It could look very cool and would be hidden most of the time.

An art student I know did this at my school (U of Calgary) about three years ago. The design is invisible unless it rains or you splash a bucket of water on the wall. It's also in a low-traffic area, so I don't think very many people know about it.

Is it still there / how long did it last?

I wonder how long it lasts, particularly when constantly exposed to the elements?

Don't think it would work, because taggers use knives to carve into thing half the time.

Technically, 'taggers' refers to spray-paint only. You're referring to 'scratch.' This is because a 'tag' indicates a spot on the complexity level of the graffiti, and it's impossible to make a throwup or piece via scratch.

Except it's easily removed with soap and water. I imagine that it's not intended to be a long lasting coating.
