Found out the KBS reseller is 950m from my house. So I bought a 500m tin of RustSeal in Gloss Black for $39.
The difference (I was told) between RustSeal and the Blacktop is the Blacktop has UV balancers in it. Seeing as it's under the car I don't think it's going to see a lot of sunshine...
Pic's when it's had a couple of coats.

Yep, It's expensive stuff but that 500mil will go a long way.
Did he tell you not to get it on your hands?.

Hey Rebel,
I've done two coats already and there is heaps left. It's great stuff and paints quite thin. I'm using a brush and it shows no streak marks.
A trick for young players, wear rubber gloves, I've got a couple of bits on my forearms and it's like a tattoo. This stuff does NOT come off... I'm painting in my garden shed out the back so if I get it on the floor or the walls the wife won't see it. 
Apparently you can hit it with a hammer when cured. |

I have found that those foam brushes from the hardware store also work well to apply it with.
I sprayed mine, and then used the brush in a small bracket. The only difference was that the brushed paint had a few small spots of dust in it. Amazing how well these products flow out.
Post some pics when your done. |

One day I'll tell you about a young fella who wore the gloves but found he needed a wee half way thru the job .... ended up with black finger prints all over his pecker which took a month to wear off. 
His wife wouldn't let him near her for that month. 
Yep, it sets very hard ( not unlike gloss powder coat ) and is the reason you should mask all your seal faces. It will migrate under a seal and will damage that seal very quickly.

If his wife wouldn't let him near how did the paint "wear off"?

By Rebel 1.
A similar story only much more painful. I had some ornamental chillies growing... you know the purple coloured little buggers.. and I was told that if you break them open with your fingers and spinkle the seeds throughout the garden, you will have new plants spinging up everywhere. Half way through the process I required a leak and unfortunately for me, I didn't wash my hands first. I usually do that afterwards. A good soaking in a fifteen ounce beer glass full of iced water is the remedy for anyone else stupid enough to try this.

There we go. All done ready to be bolted in. The brushmarks are not visible and that is some serious gloss...

Looks like it doesn't it! I wasn't going to put my pretty down on dirty pavers was I...
The first photos were on the driveway, the second lot were out the back under the pergola. Now that you mention it though the driveway may get a going over with Karcher this weekend... |
