I think it would work, most of them have UV protection in them and would last more that a few years before it fades. plus they come in different colors!

There's an older Suburban in my hometown that the owner had sprayed with Line-X. I'm sure it's durable and all, but it looks horrid. Plus, you better REALLY like the look, because it ain't coming off anytime soon!

There are examples to look at on the durabak site.

I think darker colors such as black and forest green work better then white or yellow.

Stay away from the Duplicolor. Won't hold up. Rattle can paint is as durable as that stuff. Use Chassis Black or POR-15 for the frame.
