I usually use Rustoleum Painter's Touch instead of the Rustoleum enamel because of the colors available. As for "paint and primer in one", I don't subscribe to that bull. Whatever topcoats I use, it's always over at least 2 coats of primer that's been sanded and steel-wooled.

Testor's enamel little cans, although expensive, will always have their place on my shelf because of some of the unique colors and (most importantly) they're foam-safe. Testor's Dullcote has no equal that I know of.

IMO, any current Krylon product (although some of the colors are tempting) is for "Taggers" and "Urban Expressionists" (a.k.a. graffiti-ists in need of a major beat-down.) The reason it's called Krylon is because after you've ruined your beautifully built rocket with it, you will "Kry".

THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR SURFACE PREPARATION! DON'T RUIN YOUR BIRD! IF YOU'RE UNSURE ABOUT A PAINT----TEST IT!!!!!
