I hope the Rustoleum Hammer wins cause I have already completed interior with it. I was confident with the product. I had previously used it on the wheel rims for my ATV. It has held up beautifully under extreme conditions. Doug

Doug - don't think there's much too worry about.  Between Eric's 2 month report and the past experience of others its certainly durable.  I used Hammerite rather than Rustoleum (Eric here's a matchup for your next test....) and I painted all my metal parts (I mean ALL) except the captive link mechanism parts in the vending assembly.  Will do those parts on my next machine....  Just didn't do it on this (first) machine as I didn't know how thick it went on and wasn't sure what the tolerances were for the link mechs.

That's not a bad idea.  A True Value nearby me (in Bath) carries hammerite.  And I've got four untreated shelves in the same machine I'm using for the rustoleum/krylon test.  Hmmmmm....it'll have to wait until September as I'll be leaving for Norfolk, VA tomorrow to get my eyes fixed (PRK surgery) and also picking up a WC-44SK on the way!!!  So if worse comes to worse and I come back blind, I'll just have my wife paint the shelves for me!!

Good luck with the surgery.... We'll see you when you get back.
