Krylon works well, and can easily be obtained at home depot or lowes.

Rustoleum works well especially the glossy colors because it is so hard to scatch.

Where can Rustoleum be found?

Shit comment but,you like meh don't you.

It's alright. I know you post well enough anyways. To me, "meh" describes the bored/laxed feeling better than an emoticon.

Rustoleum is common, it can be found quite easily. Very high quality, I would definitely recommend.

How do I make it so that I don't make the paint wrinkle?

The paint is wrinkling because you are putting on too much paint at a time. Only do small bits at a time.

Thanks but since I use glossy paint which takes a long time to dry so it will be really hard to do this.
