What is the best paint for L/U's durability and ease of use. No 2 part products here, rattle cans or something to use in a gun.
thanks

I used the black Krylon chalkboard paint. Easy to get and if it gets chipped, just a little sanding and spraying, good as new.:thumbsup:

I like the Quicksilver paint, don't use lacquer thiner to degrease or it will peal. 3-M has a degeaser for polyurithanes as do others.:thumbsup:

Check in to a product called POR15. Very tough stuff. The most amazing thing about it is----- ready for this?---- You brush it on. It dries slow enough that you won't leave any brush marks. Very affordable----- Do a foot of a L/U for under $30

I think it's more about prep work than the actual paint,zinc chromate primer etc.

:iagree: same stuff I've used to paint 2 mids. Stuff is very durable.........:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
But as it's been said before 99.9% of it is in the prep work...;)

I agree with the prep work. Use a good self etching primer. Be sure to sand down old finish real good so the new paint holds.
