I use Eastwood Detail Silver. I use 3-4 thin coats then when still wet I use
3-4 coats of Krylon Crystal Clear Coat. I have had the opposite experience with
Krylon Paints. I have found them to be the easiest to work with and most
forgiving in use with other paints than any other brand. I wont touch Rustoleum
'in most cases' just because I have had so many bad experiences.
IMHO YMMV

Krylon is OK stuff, but as they say "test on inconspicuous area" first
as it often blisters other paints. I was thinking of Duplicolor's Ford
Argent. It's not quite as brightly silver as some others.

Dave,
Ford used a color called Argent for its wheels at one time, and
that is thought to be closest to the color of the MG wheels.

I replied facitiously the first time, but guys on the Spridget list
suggest Krylon SIlver (Argent in French?) and a coat of matt polyurethane
on top. The polyurethan apparently kills the "bright" silver of the
paint and dulls it to match the factory finish. Now, how that can be
related to powdercoating? I have no idea.
