You're gonna find everybody has their "favorite". I've used Krylon, Dupli Color, Rustoleum and other store brand names. Krylon is nice, but you're limited to non-metallic colors (at least I've never found any with metallics). Krylon also has a lot of wierd colors, that others don't. Dupli Color is great, they have MANY colors with metallics, plus a whole line of primers. Rustoleum is also very good. The key isn't so much what type of paint you use, but how well the piece is prepared before painting. Then you have to take into consideration the air temperature and the humidity level. Don't be intimidated, start painting, and you'll learn very quickly, what works for you and what doesn't. :wink:
