I'm looking for a good easy-to-use rattle-can paint in a bright orange color.
I'm used to using Rustoleum 2x Painters Touch paints, which I find very easy and efficient to use for good results. Unfortunately I'm not seeing a nice bright orange in the 2x line at my local hardware store. They have one orange that I think is a little too muted for my purposes, and unfortunately I don't remember the name of the color right now --- not sure if it is Marigold or simply Orange --- I know Rusto makes paints by both those names, and I'm not sure which one is at the store. And they have another muted reddish orange that I think is called Paprika. I want something in a brighter color. The rocket will be orange and black, so I want a contrast that really pops.
The brightest orange paint job I ever did was multiple light coats of Rusto fluorescent. I applied enough coats that it was no longer truly fluorescent, but it was a fantastic bright orange. It took forever, and it took tons of paint for just a small rocket (Big Daddy), and I don't want to do that again. I'm not looking for fluorescent, just a bright orange that can be applied in a few coats. This is a big rocket, so a paint that is efficient to work with would be best.
If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Thanks!
