I asked a friend who had a body shop, and he said that wasn't coming off without sanding down and repainting the whole side of the car.
How can this be?
krylon is great paint. that's why it won't come off, and dried quickly.
it's also forgiving when it comes to applying too much..it rarely sags and any runs dry to nearly invisible, IME.
Rustoleum drys slowly, sags and runs with little notice, and will sheet-sag if it gets too warm... i leave it to dry for 24 hours before picking up, re-coating, or remounting a part.
unfortunately, use/QUALITY of a product no longer drives Stocking of a product... a sales rep that uses incentives does.
an even better rattle can paint is PlastiKote... super quick dry times, really great adhesion, re-coat at will, and so forgiving you become over-confident..
their sales reps must be on permanent vacation or something.
