I never saw the rustoleum automotive either. I was gonna use Rustoleum Professional grade enamel, with some mineral spirits. $26 a quart from Lowe's home improvement, but it beats buying a bunch of rattle cans for the price.

You can get a can of one coat acrylic from Napa.

If you go the Rustoleum rattle can route, skip the cold galvanized primer. Rustoleum sells a high zinc primer that goes with the reg. paint. I use them on smaller parts like roll cages, bumpers etc.

That Mopar guy painting his car with a roller is not the first.

My dear Mother, God bless her soul, once took all the

leftover house paint we had when I was just a lad.....

mixed it all together and proceeded to roller paint our old rusty

station wagon (late 60's as I recall)

The color was came out as "mauve", that color that was popular 20 years

ago. She was on the cutting edge, apparently.........

The paint held the car together for years!

rustoleum paint

You can use cold galvanize on a car or truck but you have to put zinc chromate over the top of that. Galvanize wont hold paint unless you use a self etching primer
