Wait, how long does it take to 'heal'? Didn't see that in the article, and it's pretty crucial with regards as to how useful this can be.

  As long as it heals at least a little faster than it naturally weathers this would be amazing for all sorts of things. Imagine if you could just paint steel with a coating that's as durable as hot dip galvanizing.

      That's why I chose galvanization as an example. The coating acts as an anode until it's consumed.
