That's the stuff. I'm still not sure how much I like the finish - it seems quite plastic-looking, but it does come out smooth when it behaves.
If you're painting something vertical you have to be quite careful to apply the right amount - too little and it isn't opaque enough and the surface isn't so smooth, too much and it curtains or drips.
Also, if you're using the white like I am (does it come in other colours?) then I find it almost impossible to see where the coverage is without shining a light on the surface so I can see the reflection.
Once you've left it for a minute or two that's it - you can't go and touch it up or smooth it out, it'll just drag and leave a horrid mess. Best to let it dry and then smooth out with some sandpaper.
At least, that's my amateur hour experience with the stuff.
I think the non-quick dry stuff is a solvent base btw, so it will be very different to the water based quick dry.
