Good suggestion if you are spray painting, but the original posted
indicated that he is painting using a brush.

Actually the original post indicated that the current, poor paint job was
done with a brush.

He then asked:

"Are your basic hardware store type spray cans the way to go? Or is
there some cool high tech brush-on goo that levels itself out, dosen't
run, looks great and is near impossible to chip? Any favorite
types/brands/whatever? Suggestions on primers, or are they even
necessary, etc."

I love the expoxy based machine paints, but it's nearly impossible to
get a good, smooth finish unless your spray because they are not nearly
as self-leveling as conventional machine paints and enamels. Surface
preparation is a bitch as well since often surface etching is needed.

Then too, cleaning up your spray outfit after using expoxy paint
required much more time and rather nasty solvents (like MEK) than the
painting operation itself consumes.
