The people on the transit forum seem to like a product called Rustoleum, but ive never tried it or seen the results...

There's a TRANSIT forum ?? OMG!
On the subject - some say 2 pack paint flows well for brush painting and without the spraying health risks.

hello Gordong,

another alternative is to try your local Autopaint factor and ask for enamel paint that is used to paint trucks. Apparently it is a polyurethane typr paint?
