    Duplicolor silver is awesome. If you use the etching primer, silver and ceramic clear coat and let it fully cure its pretty durable. Just not as good as powdercoat.

    yes make sure at least you goto an auto paint store and get some etching primer (its in a spray can) for it!! then spray a few light coats on it covering it well, let stand for 30 then proceed to paint it with your favorite shade of pink.....
