The bonus is, the paint is super cheap, like $30 a gallon. Of course the hardener, thinner, etc... is a little more. I don't think there is any brand better than the other, Van Sickle, Majic, Valspar, they all seem about the same.

Yeah, I have used Van Sickle paints on several projects (IH fan, so I've used a LOT of red....). It's fairly durable, but subject to fade in the long run. Thought about it, though (still thinking....). The guy at the parts store actually suggested that, with a good clear coat.
