Question paint for door art?

while not entirely finished yet, i'm getting close enough that it's time to start thinking about possible door art/lettering...
to stay with the DIY theme, i'm looking for what kind of paint is best for this? this would be (darkside) "ratrod" style, so light-colored paint over dark surface rust.
thanks in advance.

I am not an artist or pin striper, butI believe most would use 1 Shot Sign Painters paint.

It would be cool to paint your door art then make it look old (aged). Check out You Tube fore more info.

Please post pictures when done.

If you want to go with the rat rod thing I’d suggest finding the cheapest oil based paint and use it. It’ll dull and wether in a short time after being exposed to the elements

Thanks for the tips. Working on rust removal, color matching, yesterday. Going to need
more than one color of that One Shot to save the lettering.
