If I had a choice I don't think I'd use latex paint again....coming from an oil or spray can kinda guy...I'm not convinced on its durability. I guess It does have its pros but I notice it feels sticky/tacky to the touch. I take it that it"ll go away after it cures properly in about a month's time (I hope). So right now I will have to wait before sticking on the side art, unless I can just go ahead before the paint fully cures? Actually, if I had to do it again it'll be laminate instead. |

Yeah, I wouldn't use latex. If I did use paint (and I'm glad I didn't) I'd use nothing else other than Rustoleum Satin Black Enamel. |

I use Valspar Satin Black Enamel myself. The key is to use enamel. |
| dkersten:
even a good latex enamel will take 3+ weeks to fully cure.. I used Behr from Home depot and it took nearly 8 weeks to completely cure. I can spray on oil based enamel and in the sun it will be completely cured in less than a day, in the shop at 70 degrees F all day/night it is fully cured in about 48 hours. I won't roll/spray latex again. Once fully cured, latex is VERY durable, but be prepared to wait a LONG time for that to happen. |

I usually apply the sideart after a few days of curing. Never had any issues. D |
