If you're talking rattle cans, I really like the original Rustoleum product, in the white can with the circle logo and the colored cap. I think just about every other product they've introduced in the 30 years since is basically garbage that doesn't come out as nice, or clogs the spray tip when the can is less than half emptied, but whoever invented their original product seemed to know their stuff.
The only other rattle can I'll use is the Valspar Tractor and Implement series stuff, which actually goes on pretty nice and is very durable. But those are one-use cans. Never count on them spraying well if you store them a year or three after initial use, no matter how you try to clear the nozzle after use.
I think one of the problems with a lot of the newer products is that they're designed to spray at all angles. This defeats your ability to clear the nozzle by inverting the can, for all who know that old trick. In fact, I see they're now even marketing the original Rustoleum product as "sprays all angles", so maybe we're all doomed.

), as well as rattle can and brush, and my brand preferences vary with application method. If buying quarts or gallons, I'd put the Valspar Tractor and Implement Enamel, also sold under countless other brand names, at the top of the list. But if rattle can, I'd stick with the Rustoleum original product I recommended in post #11.
