I'm not saying it is necessarily a good choice, just that lacquer from a spray can (that is what you said the product he asked about is...) doesn't always look bad. Lacquer is an old technology. It fades and chips easily, and requires constant maintenance. The benefits are that it is cheap, does not have isocyanates that will mess up your lungs or require you to buy expensive fresh air equipment, and it is easy to work with. That is why it is being pushed for do it yourself types.
