The van sickle enamel avaliable at farm stores dies slow, but is as hard as a hammer when it does dry.....and its cheap and can be buffed. I just used van sickle for the first time last week. I painted a utility trailer with, gloss black. Looks good, time will tell, but I'm betting it wears well!

where i work now they use a PPG brand paint. not sure if its 1 part or 2 part. We paint the inside of chiller parts with Carboline 2 part coal tar epoxy. Holy mess. We slop it on with brushes and Lord help you if you get it on you, you’re wearing it off.

If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

where i work now they use a PPG brand paint. not sure if its 1 part or 2 part. We use international epoxy paint to paint the spill gates at the dam. That stuff is incredible. I have no idea what cost and availability is though. For ease of touch up, I do exactly as hot rod said. Pay attention to the quantities as they can affect gloss a bit.....if trying to match colors.
I would not buy something that runs on any kind of primer given the possibility of primer shortages and even regulations. In fact, why not buy a flintlock? Really. Rocks aren't going away anytime soon.

Why not go to the local auto parts store and use what they sell and recommend? Or stop by an auto body shop and see what they use?
Charcoal respirators aren't good enough with Isocyanates. You need supplied air, the tangle of hoses is a PIA. A chink copy of a Sata gravity feed gun is a good place to start.
Regular Rustoleum enamel thinned with Acetone sprays just like the $400/gal PPG Delfleet ESSS I am painting a set of Clamar floats with if the humidity drops some the next couple days.

Several years ago I painted an old aluminum camp trailer with Rustoleum just like that. It worked fine. The only problem is that when you buy Rustoleum in quarts, the color selection is very limited, nothing like what you get in spray cans.

I "rubberized" a 1997 Dodge 3500 with 3M 5200... then oversprayed her with 5-6 cans of flat black $0.97 Walmart spray paint. $5k Cummins... Mechanically BRILLIANT! Cosmetically FUBAR. Mountain Truck... PURE WORK. Tough stuff (i.e. "throw rocks at it"... tough stuff) 5 years now... wearing like iron. Rubberized 1997 Dodge 3500
