: I'm ready to paint my wife's Chuckanut and went to the store to buy

: they had in Rustoleum was Enamel. What am I supposed to use?
: Enamel seems like it would be too brittle?
Hi Todd,
That Enamel is oil based. I've used external emanel on three SoF's and had no problems with brittleness.
The thing with enamel is that it isn't as srcatch resistant as some poly's. It also needs occassional re-coating. A quick sand and clean and a coat, maybe once a year depending on sun fading.
