Help with Spray can type......

Hey guys, need some help with what rust oleum paint to use to spray my xj? I've been doing a lot of reading on here and a lot of people say rust oleum is good but what type? Reason I ask is our range is limited here in Australia. Thanks for any help....

A little more information would be helpful, like what are you planning on painting with it, the color and your expectations.

Unfortunately can't get that.........And sorry I'm after paint for 2 jobs. The body and paint for the long arm kit, sliders and frame stiffiners. I don't want a pro job for the body but don't want it to look like a complete POS. And as for the long arm etc, what is a good hard wearing option? I'm aware it's all coming off on the trail which is why I'm going paint and not powdercoating, just wanted a good option.

I love This stuff it is about $5 a can and very durable, the good part is it is easily fixable if chipped or scratched just hit it with another shot and literally cannot tell it was patched

Properly applied powder is better than paint.

I've used both and I prefer the rustoleum. It lays down nice, dries quick, and I feel its more durable than the Dupli Color. But like others have said, if you've got the money and want an extremely durable finish then powder coat it. But the Rustoleum bed liner is great choice.

All great if your rig doesn't already have rust. If it does, coat whatever you want to paint with some POR-15 and then go to town with whatever spray you want.
