Spend the extra money to buy the poly paint (or Imron).  Our group painted a
Wabash caboose with an industrial red paint.  Within two years it faded from
Coca-Cola red to Pepto-Bismol pink.  Just sayin'

As you know red is one of the worst color fade and it is the most costly
paint to purchase. When we painted the X450 we had to make a decision of the
industrial red or pay more for poly paint. The industrial was $100 gallon
and poly was $375, we went with the poly and it still looks like new paint
after 6 years. A man in Johnson City painted his caboose with industrial
paint and after 2 years it is pink now. Your decision is whether you want
the low cost paint which last a couple of years or go with the poly
automotive paint  which is expensive but will last for years.. Picture of
the X450 is attached which was in bad condition when we got it but look at
it now after the 6 years..
