Default Lifter valley paint

I am getting ready to assemble my FE. I am leaning towards painting the lifter valley for improved oil return.

A couple local guys have commented about using Rust-o-leum rather than Glyptal. Claim the fish oil based paints adhere to the metal just as well.

Has anyone used Rustoleum in this application? Seems the best deal I can find on Glyptal is thru Caswell's. If Rustoleum works just as well, it would be much more convenient. Can you tell me the type of Rustoleum you've used. Number or name would be helpful

2nd question: do you only paint the lifter valley or do you go into the main area and paint it also?

Thanks

Paul
