We used to use Rust-O-leum (sp) pretty regualrly many years ago, at the time that was considered kind of a standard. We used the brush on in Red or Black. A lot of time was spent insuring that there were no oils left on the surface to impeded adhesion. Never had any fail or flake off. But... that was many years, and probably a 100 paint formula's, ago. Glyptal is a great paint, but I have no personal experience and with some of the new style epoxy and urethane paints there is probably even better paint now. The last time I used Rust-O-Leum was about 4 years ago on an old Harley engine and trans case. It was a 1940 engine and as far back as the late 60's we used to use it on the inside of those cases to keep them from "bleeding" through the castings. They too were cleaned extensively to eliminate any oils left. So although I have used it many times without any failures it is not a recommendation as the best, or only paint, to use. It might not hurt to talk with an automotive paint store and see what they would suggest.Like many people, I tend to use what has worked, but am always open to improving the process.
