[AT] paint question

[Mike]

I've had good success with the oil based enamels like Rust-Oleum,  just 
be aware that they dry S-L-O-W in cold weather. Finish durability is 
excellent on things I have that sit outside. May fade in the sun though, 
some of the older Tractor Supply Farmall Red would turn almost pink if 
it sat out in the sun.
