    Anodized aluminum part I want to spray paint.

    What rustoleum would you recommend?

    was gonna roll it, but it is an obvious spray job and my air system needs a dryer, so want to use cans...tia

    I used some krylon today. Doesn't look as good as my two part poly paint, but the job is done in less than a day..

    You need to read the instructions, the print so small that you need at least 3 power glasses. Fallguy Krylon is my favorite. I used Rustoleum once. Sprayed it, light coat, let it dry and then re sprayed it. The solvent from the second coat
    softened the initial coat and it bubbled and made a mess of the project. So I read the instructions, and the can that I had said that you need to let it sit for a day before recoat.
    There is a You tube on how to paint anodized aluminum

    I found the can
    Rustoleum Ultra Cover paint and primer
    The instructions say that you can recoat within a couple of minutes (though I would expect that it might run pretty easy) then under recoat "apply second coat within 1 hour or after 48 hours"
