Some of the new paint formulations coming out are truly amazing. I have not tried the Professional line, other than I bought a can of it in silver (actually called stainless steel) It was a “bonus” can and was a bit taller, and had a few extra ounces of paint. Very smooth finish after it dries.

If you like metallics, try the Rustoleum metallic blue (its in the “Stops Rust” line). Maybe the best I’ve used for brilliant, even color. Their metallic black night and metallic charcoal (looks like an automotive metallic gray) are also very good. I see they have a metallic green, but I’m pretty heavily stockpiled on Testors and Model Masters greens.

David,
How did you like that particular Rustoleum ”bonding”primer? I’ve bought a number of different Rustoleum primers and had good luck with all of them, in terms of drying quickly, and sanding easily. But you never know, they have more versions of primer than any other paint company, I think.
