IIRC correctly a lot of the paint guys hired on in the dawn of automotive times was from carpentry shops as half the car was wood. They probably just stuck with what they new till speed needed to improve.
   You can split the time/work by spraying an enamel with hardener then sanding and buffing it. The same prinicipal applies, the more coats the better, sand, sand, sand, buff, polish, still driving the results. It ain't no show car but it latches the 4-5 ft discription Hotrod uses.
   My thing about the rustoleum or nay of these finishes is that they will fade like a mother! Stay way from reds and bright colors unless it is garage kept and waxed. Some of the maroons and deep reds are realy bad at fading too.
   My white will fade to, well, white? :]
Shhhhhhh, don't tell anyone...
