Not soooooo fast. I saw a link to this thread from Jeeps Unlimited.com. I just need a quick update. From what I have read the paint I need is oil based enamel from rustoleum and mix it with mineral spirits and use a dense foam roller to apply up to 10 coats on a sanded surface, metal or primed.

Wet sanding each or every other coat will rid the orange peel and remove impurities. ( I detail, so wet sanding and buffing and my specialty)

Does this sound correct? If so, I have a few questions. I found some of the rustoleum at lowes, the same stuff others on here have used, and it says do not use on surfaces that reach 200 deg. F. It also says do not use for surfaces submerged in water. A car spends its time outside and is always wet, and hoods will go over 200 easily.

Have any of you had any negative effects from using this paint in the outdoors exposed to snow, rain, salt, etc for several years? Or does this stuff hold up well?

Also, how much do I thin the paint with mineral spirits?
