We painted my housemates camira with it a few weeks back. Sticks really well to where the paint is slightly worn.
Seems to have lasted the rain...

It beats me why so many people go for the "spray can paint job" when for virtually the same money you could buy a tin of High Gloss Enamel house paint, thin it out with some turps, paint a couple of coats with a decent sized brush and get a much better finish (although still looks shit compared to a normal spray job).

thats cause its enamel.. enamels will never dry properly unless you bake them, lacquer is the better stuff to use.

squirt petrol on it and see what happens 
better off geting 3 litres of enamel ($30 maybe) from you local paint shop (freshly mixed).....borrow a gun off your mate and spray.
you would probly use 10 - 15 ($30) cans of export paint anyhow because of how thin/transparent it is.
i painted some left over black enamel (from local paint shop) on a panel that wasnt sanded or even washed....had dirt all over it..... and it stuck very well, and it usually doesnt come off with mild solvents 
about all the export paint is good for is the kids the like the smell  of it....unfortunately
