Either works great......The application is the tricky part, definitely takes some practice to get a nice even wrinkle finish without sags and runs, especially on vertical surfaces. Start with extremely clean bare steel and skip the primer, go right to paint. Pre heat the parts to about 150 with a heat gun (or best, in an oven) and remember, keep it clean from grease etc. Apply in three even coats spaced about 10 minutes apart.
