1) reread this link he gives the pros and cons for them all.

2) most body shops will have them, and stew mac has the waterbourn and nitro.

3) reread same link tells ya in the descriptions of all the paints

well the reason i am asking is because the hardware store nearby has mostly enamel sprays... I'm looking for something more durable... something better overall

Like I mentioned in the other thread, looking into duplicolor's automotive line of paints. They're quite durable and yield great results with a bit of practice. A word of caution though, only use their gray primer. Stay away from their red and black primers, I've never gotten good results with them. Spray the primer on, sand it to around 600 grit, wet. Then go for a base coat and clear coat. Make sure you use only one line of paints. Mixing and matching brands and lines may cause compatibility issues. All of this stuff should be available at any automotive parts store near you(autozone, pepboys, etc).

peace,
