I painted a small Car Red with Rustoleum gloss paint with Spray Cans. It fades.
If you have a paint Spray it is better just to buy the real Auto Paint. However, get the type that cleans up or thins with regular Paint Thinner.
I painted a Pick-up Truck once and the Auto Paint I picked used a different and more expensive thinner. I did not know that when I bought the Paint and is was the first and only time I did that with a Spray Gun and Air Compressor.
On the Plus side; if you get the fast drying version of the Rustoleum Bugs and other stuff the Wind Blows has less time to adhere.
I forgot I also did part of a Friends car with a dark metallic charcoal Gray. That paint goes on thicker and has held up OK but still faded a little.
I the below pic I had a lot of rust holes along the area that the Bottom Trim attached to the Car door.
After the rust holes ere fixed I did not want to paint the whole Car so I decided to paint the lower part of the Door and Body with Fust-oleum Hammered type paint 7214 Gray.
So the Paint is kind of a Silver Metallic Gary. Painting it as you would use a normal spray paint does not bring out the Hammered Metal appearance. It just goes on like silver gray paint. Sorry for the shaded picture.
Please note that I am not finished with this job. I am eventually going to add a Black Stripe between the Blue and Gary paint and the shaded pic does not brine out the color well.
The Hammared Metal Paint dries fast and it also seems to be harder when it dries then the regular rust-oleum paint and it goes on thicker so it fills better.
