Ace stores "RustStop" is a very good paint as well. I like it better than Rustoleum brand. And they can tint to any colour!

no ACE stores here, we used to have a true value but its long gone, we have homehardware, and a new McDiarmid lumber that just opened up (all canadain owned) it seems to be a good store , I have been buying most of my stuff there for the bus , prices seem better then the other store

Re: rustoleum paint where to get?

do you have Sico brand paint in your neck of wood?

I did a 100$ paint job on my old Dodge Caravan and used the Sico Corrostop paint and it turned out pretty good, too bad I can't find any pics

http://www.corrostop.ca/en/

It doesn't dull as fast as the rustoleum/tremclad and can be mixed any color you want.

I know what you mean about chaulking, dulling , where would you get tractor paint?
