Help on paint

Whats a good brand of spray paint? I need some paint that will NOT be easy to scratch off any surface and is a flat color. Black and OD green to be exact. Every can of spray paint that I have bought always is easy to scratch off. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

get CAR PAINT... any brand as long as its car touch up paint in a can.

car paint is the way to go.

its about 3-5x more epxensive then premium paint in a can.

a single coat is good enough for anything really. (i have a single layer of silver on my cd rom drives on my pc.. so the button gets used qute often.. its been 3 years and its still shiney and good as new)

When you know what you're doing and have a car which hasn't faded, rattle cans can do amazing stuff.

I do detailing work as a side job, and its amazing how well it turns out when you have a good match and do it right.

I bought a 1998 Camry LE to give to my mom (paid $500) and have repainted the front bumper, 2 doors and the spot above the left taillight. No one can tell those spots had paint falling off or have bondo there. I also painted all of the exhaust guards(high heat aluminum-color engine block paint) and polished the valve cover.

Good Luck,
GT6
