The thread has died down for a few days. I'm gonna repost my questions that nobody answered:
Has anyone tried Rustoleum's topside paint yet (I've only seen Brightside brand so far) and how'd that go? Also for those using Rustoleum enamel, is the regular oil-based "protective enamel" or the "high performance/professional" version better? Did anybody do a comparison panel test?



I have read every page of this thread over the past 2+ years and I don't recall anyone trying rustoleum topside or anyone doing a comparison test of the others either....but hey my memory has never been perfect!!

since it is slow I will share that I started another project. very happy with how my sidecar turned out so I offered to paint my father in laws van.

typical mid 90's chrysler van with the paint peeling off. he tried spraying a few spots with a can and it looked even worse. so far I power washed the loose stuff off and scraped the rest off with a putty knife/scraper. only doing the roof and hood as they were the worst....might do the rest later if it turns out good. i'm now up to the second coat of paint and will wet sand today and lay another. I took pictures of before anything, then after scraping and sanding then after the first coat. will try to take more as time goes along and update..

here is the page for the van
