Just the durability and resistance to abrasion... not that the 2 parts are totally free of those issues. I recently redid the hull stripes with single part, and so far it's standing up pretty good but I'm careful to avoid placing fenders where they'll "work" on the paint stripes.

btw - some years back we did a total awlgrip job (topsides and deck), doing all the work ourselves on a 40 footer and spent more than 5 grand... having it done for any reasonable sized boat will run even more I'd guess. A boat neighbour recently had an insurance claim from a hit&run.... 17K to fix/paint one side of a C&C 110.
