Is Krylon Fusion good?
I've done a fair amount. Not as much as Karsten who did it as a business though. Krylon Fusion is good and a few other standard paints like Aervo and Rustuleum in my experience, but nothing has been as tough as Alumahyde II. All the stocks I've done look almost the same as the day they finished curing. It's very hard to scuff being basically colored epoxy unlike Krylon and the others that a quick rub on a table top can scuff them. This is OD green Alumahyde II done years back and put through lots of use. It takes longer to fully cure, but it's worth it in my opinion if you want a really tough stock finish.
