Pastel colours are cheap. Blacks and whites of known good brands. Load em up into a gun then go nuts, I've used $90 acrylic white with high opacity to good effect.
Easier than roll on and it won't fall off. You can polish supercheap rattlecan paint to a mirror, it'll just go funny/fade fast and fall off though.
only problem is that i dont have an air compressor or a gun. So im limited to what i can do. So thats why thinking roll on as thatl be easy to do car other than the spray paint

rustoleum contains fish oil, or similar, so its hard to get a nice finish (can be done) call up your local john deere dealer and get some paint from them (its rebranded valspar if im remembering correctly).I painted my morris minor in med gloss black (one step up from the popular blitz black).Paint and thinners came to maybe $200

You mean the thinned down rustoleum with a hair dryer thing!
You can make tractor enamel shine like a mirror, it's the longer haul that is usually the issue.

Although I will add it technically probably is the right type of paint and would appear to last alright because of that. Personally I'd avoid it though.
