if you are insinuating the factory paint in the qrt/gal cans is anything less than or equal to Rustoleum that one buys at a store or DIY center, you are mistaken. Rustoleum is a good paint but not even in the same league as Fisher's yellow mix. Believe me, I'm not getting a penny for supporting their paint; just the truth be known from experience with it that it is superior to any oil-based OTC type paints I have used. Why would one go through all the bother and fuss to sandblast and prep a plow only to top it off with a paint that's just so-so to inferior? The Fisher paint dries remarkably well even during snowfall when I need to touch up a chip, rather than leave it exposed all season.
Again, it dries considerably faster, provides a much harder, scratch resistant, and slick surface after full cure. Rustoleum can be sratched off with your fingernail and the shine dulls too easily from salt. The Fisher paint requires a screwdriver to chip it (after full cure) and plenty of fresh air or you'll pass out and when you come to, you won't remember your name, address, or what food tastes like! It's a paint sniffing addicts dream come true! As for cleanup, even with mineral spirits or thinner, it's a job to clean your hands or a brush. I just scrap the brush.
