Other than Rustoleum, is there a brand of paint that can be rolled on? I've got a white 62 that I want to repaint white...but I'm looking for something that dries a little faster than Rustoleum and is more durable. I will be painting this in my garage - and the temperature when I'm doing it will be 85-100 outside w/ 80% or more humidity. I saw Endura is recommended - is that spray only? Thanks in advance to everybody that has input.
 
I wasn't sure about spraying it, since I don't own a compressor or spray gun...when I try to spray paint, it looks like Niagra Falls running down the side. Maybe it's not as hard as it looks?? I've never tried to do any body work other than wet sanding and rotary polishing.
 
It's really not that hard. Keep your arm moving but not your wrist. Spray on a sheet first to get the speed and psi correct and check the viscosity prior to shooting it. HF makes a decent gun for the moeny but I love my iwata lph400.

What I don't understand is how you can spray primer and shoot paint like rustoleum.

Ideally, you want a nice paint job. You need to have some type of high build in between your epoxy primers or primer sealer then BC/CC to get a flat glass-like finish. How does one do it for the hardware store brand?

I think the reason the rustoleum is a hot item is because of the quality of job you get for such a low cost. For someone like me who has a trail truck that just gets scratched and dented it doesn't pay to go get a nice spray job. I can just touch up my rustoleum and its back to looking new again. Now if it was not going to be a trail truck I would definitely use a high quality paint. Just my 2 cents. :)
