Chip/Scratch resistant paint?
I've built a window seat in a bay window. I've used a maple faced ply and edged it with a maple sill so from a wood stand point it will resist dings and dents from normal wear and tear. We're not going to put a cushion on it but I imagine that it will get sat on from time to time (reading a book in the morning sun etc.).
I was thinking about giving it a couple of coats of white floor paint, after my usual over kill of 3-4 coats of primer and sanding for a smooth as a baby's butt look.
Is the floor paint overkill? Will a good quality oil based enamel be good enough? I'm worried the floor paint would look a little ropey.

I use floor paint on walls in some commercial bathrooms
Also some other high use/wear non-floor spots
Works great
I like Ben Moore's Floor & Patio water-based off-hand
I'm sure the other major brands have good ones also
