I have been using Rust-oleum ''2 times '' ultra cover, paint + primer Lately,, & really like it .
It's only around 3 1/2 bucks @ most places, for a 12 oz. can.
I would still use Rust-oleum primer first though,, & finish with their clear cote.
If your base color is going to be dark, then use dark primer. If the color is going to be a light color, then I would use white primer.
Temp. is a key factor, plus ensuring that the primer has dried well.
I usually put on the clear within an hr. of the base color/colors, with a few light coats.
Around 80*f is usually a good all around temp. for a good paint job & drying.
Lastly,,
The longer the better, in letting it all set up & cure.
My basic rule of thumb on that is,, ''leave it alone'' for ''at least'' a few days.
