A couple of paint dealers have recomended Rustoleum Metalmax acrylic urethane enamel for its non-chalking properties and the ease of application and quick drying time. This is a latex paint. What do you think of using this on a work/non-show truck? Don.

latex? :confused: acrylic urethane enamel can be water based, but it's not latex [paint w/ a latex-based binder]

I've used acrylic urethane and it works fine - brands may vary, and this may give you an idea of what the variations are

Rustoleum's 'one step' may work fine for a driver, but it's not a bad idea to do a good prep and primer - the paint job's only as good as the application, regardless of the paint maker

A latex paint!? LOL! No way.

Painting with Acrylic Enamel is really easy to apply. It's the synthetic crap that chalks. But like I have said before; it's the preparation that's the hard part. Don't ruin all that work with crummy paint.
