Automotive polyurethane but you need a mask to avoid the fumes. For a repair or complete board?

if you use enamel, you may have big problems in the future. the next coat could create big bubbles. Automotive stuff is better.

Yes as decrep says the cheap enamels stay gooey
I had trouble sanding black paint that had been there for a year. Clogging paper up! Just never dries
Eg that Export brand stuff. Rubbish

Laquer based acrylic is the go for decent job

Best in a can would be Anchor
Or Duramax at bunnings
Unless its matte white?

Watch my spray paint vid on paul van bellens yoochoob

But do u have a spraygun?

No matter what can you use there are two tricks which help
First invert the cans for at least 24 hours prior to using, then all the solids and filler powders don't remain sitting at the bottom of the can trying to get sucked up the siphon tube,(ever tried to stir auto paint in a can with just a stick, all gluggy at the bottom never even unless power mixed)
Next trick boil up some water and after shaking the **** out of the cans stand them in it for at least 10-15 mins topping up with more hot water, first thing it does is soften the thick paint inside the can and the second is increase the pressure resulting in better spraying.
And shake the **** out of them before and during use.

Yes, I have used the hot water trick befpore and it gives a great result (don't get water on the painted surface) Also painting in the afternoon so that cooling temperatures cause trapped air pockets to contract rather than expand (works great when doing coatings on wood).
