"I was told I would be shocked how well the Rust-oleum would do if it was baked"
I love Rust-Oleum products...I started using them in the mid 80's, and I still keep several cans of various colors on hand.
In '98-'99 I had an '85 Chevy 1500, that wasn't anything special, and every 6 months or so I would buy a gallon of Rust-Oleum royal blue paint, and soft bristle brush....and slap on a new paint job. I'd lay it on so heavy that it spread out nice and smooth on it's own. Then one day at a local track, a buddy was sitting on his bike next to my truck...and I noticed him staring at it for a couple minutes....then he says..."dude, did you paint this with a brush?"....I replied, "yes I did, how'd ya know?"....he said "there's a bristle stuck in the paint, that's the only way I knew because it looks awesome."
By the time I junked that truck...the paint had to d**n near a 1/2" thick!...but man did it shine!
