I need to throw a cheap fast spray onto an already f'ed up tank. The only green I can find is Duplicolor "grabber green" engine paint. Anyone ever used this stuff?

I know it's basically crap, but how much better is PJ1? I can't find anyone with PJ1 around me, it seems to be Dennis-Kirk-order-only (I checked all the dealers I could think of).

I used the Duplicolor Metalcast Blue on my fairing and liked the results. Followed the directions; used an adhesive starter/primer, silver base coat then the blue.
My other body work is a Candy Blue, and the Duplicolor Metalcast has a similar effect.

I don't think it would stand up to gas very well, but for a fairing away from the gas it's worked fine.

I used grabber green on my valve cover and a couple other small parts, goes on easy enough, it chips easily but I think you'll have the problem with pretty much any rattle can.

Haven't used PJ1 myself, heard good things about it but not after I was done painting, would have probably used the PJ1 instead.

Here is a pic of my valve cover

yep, Grabber Green. Went on fairly smooth, even coverage over a black base and baked in the sun, Seems to be fairly tough for a spray can paint job.
