Love the results I get with Dupont Nason polyurethane. Fabulous gloss and Very tough. Costs a lot and you need to wear a good mask though. And preparation is everything.
Whats the best paint to use?
I currently use fairly common spray paints from model shops but find they quite often scratch away very easily.
Has anyone built or bought a fume cupboard for painting indoors, ie in a garage, on a rainy day without stinking the place out?
I'm especially interested in any homemade contraptions...
I use a fabric stand up wardrobe. $16 from WalMart. Works like a charm.

+1
Also +1 for chromabase
Has anyone purchased the Krylon industrial spray paint that is supposed to be the same formula as their 'old' cans that we used to buy retail?
Most of the larger industrial supply places carry it.
the best paint to use is the one you like the most.
Two-pack automotive gets my vote. If you have a friend with a panel shop the results are fantastic! If you are sufficiently motivated you can set up for it at home, but I have not quite made it that far, yet. I had one rocket painted with two-pack that went to Mach 1.8 and the only blemish on the paint was from the launch rail. No sign of Mach rash. A little disappointing in that situation actuallyWhats the best paint to use?
A good sentiment, but given that companies do change paint formulations from time to time, the paint you like the most might not work the same way the next time you try it.
Another Chromabase fan here. So much more consistent than hobby, household and craft paints...but it does come at a price.
