I need a good spray paint, and to the best of my knowledge, these two brands are top notch. Which would you recommend based on resistance, colour choices, application, and overall looks?
Rustoleum or Krylon Paint?

Several cans of my spray paints are Krylon brand and so far they seem really good. The choices at my local store were great to, but I haven't tried the Rustoleum brand so I can't say other then my opinion.

the best paint i ever used is rustoleum double coverage. i have tried a lot of different krylon and rustoleums and that is one of the best!
Actually, I've had great success using DupliColor. They're automotive paints, so you'll have to go to Schuck's or AutoZone or the like, but they really pop and make the armor look more like it's made of metal. Very durable and a wide range of colors, too, to add icing to the cake. Anyway, that's my two cents.

I have a hard time figuring out which rustoleum brand is used.

I used both brands on my nephew's Iron Man helmet recently and they both performed really well. Check out my thread to see some pics. I also listed the colors I used.

I just use some absurdly expensive car and interior spray-paint my dad had leftover from a car business my parents used to run.

Dupli color is some of the best paint I have ever worked with. It goes on incredibly smooth, and it covers very well. But it is expensive, and you can only get it at Autozone, Napa, Advanced Auto Parts, and stores like it.
My second choice would be rust oleum. I havn't really used it lately, but in the past it seemed to take a long time to dry, but after a week or so it wouldn't scratch or get any damage on it. Lowes usually has it.
I am not really familiar with krylon, I know that it goes on pretty well, and they usually have a lot of choices, and it is less expensive. But overall I am not sore how well it lasts. I know that walmart has a good color selection.
