Another thing you could try is the Home Depot Hammered (Rustolem?) enamel finish. Brush strokes disappear, finish looks great and is very durable. If you've never used it before its like a paint you've never put on before. But wear a respirator. I don't know what is in that stuff, but it is volatile.
THIS.i use the black ,it turns out to be a dark grey but goes good with any color combo.dont get the spray bombs the brush on looks better and holds up great.Surface prep is key,alot of goog advice so far
