My dad shot the '63 with Rustoleum since he was using it as a utility truck. The are pros and cons to it.

Pros:
*Inexpensive
*Widely available
*Decent range of colors
*Can use a conventional paint sprayer to apply
*Looks OK for a using truck

Cons:
*The hardnes isn't "quite right." ~It really chips!~
*Doesn't weather especially well
*Not real resistant to gas and environmental agents (road salt)

On our truck, I'm hoping to sand it back down next summer and shoot it with DuPont enamel auto paint. I'm afraid that brittle paint will keep chipping under the automotive paint, so it's coming off.
