Re: [Amc-list] What type of cheap paint?

["Dan Ritzinger" <danritz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've tried a lot of rattle-can paints over the years, and found that the 
Duplicolor engine paint WITH CERAMIC (the slightly pricier type that they 
sell, I believe) is head and shoulders above any other, except possibly the 
engine paint from specialty places like Bill Hirsch.  I use this engine 
paint exclusively, whether a high-heat paint is required or not, simply 
because it goes on great, is not prone to runs/sags, dries fairly quickly, 
looks very good, and is tough.  Too many of the other brands tended to stay 
a bit gummy for days after spraying, making it difficult to handle the parts 
without messing them up.  Not so with the Duplicolor.  Admittedly, it may be 
a bit more expensive than other paints, and I'm using a pricier heat-type 
paint where it's not required, but the ease of application, looks, and 
durability make it worth it.
