I also agree the Eastwood 2K ceramic is good stuff. Painted the hood hinges and some other stuff with it a couple builds ago and I like it a lot. Agreed it goes on well, looks like powder coat, and seems very durable. Maybe more durable than powder coat since it's catalyzed. Downsides are that it's not cheap and it has a limited pot life once you pierce the built-in container to mix the hardner. Plan to have whatever you're going to paint all lined up ready to go. Won't go on the shelf for later. I've found Eastwood's Extreme chassis black paints to be excellent. Not as good as the 2K, but better than anything I've found at the big box or automotive stores. Last, in descending order, I've also found the Dupli-Color Ceramic engine paint to be pretty decent. All head and shoulders better than Rustoleum products, which I don't use after finding better alternatives.
