personally, I use Imron for painting machinery, it is very rugged and
resistant to solvents, coolant, and abrasion. There is a thread on paint on
the OWWM site that you may find helpful

I used Homey's Despot brand of alkyd paint for Dina (my old tablesaur)
and it has held up well for a decade. I think it was $7/qt.


Any clue what the OWWM site happens to be? A full URL? What it
means? (I guess that I could do a Google search, but it probably
matches more than one thing.)

Type "owwm" in the browser window and it magically brings up
"http://www.owwm.com", Don. _Amazing_, huh?


Not that it matters to me -- I didn't ask the question.

When in doubt or curiosity, try the simplest thing first, even if you
didn't ask the question and it doesn't matter much. g
