Is there a DIY aerosol paint that would put up with more abuse than the universal, off the shelf paint? Would a professional paint-gun applied product fare better? I've been impressed with some of the Hammerite aerosols but I don't know if there is anything else that would be more durable?

What about some kind of heavy vinyl wrap?

hard to beat Hammerite its quite a good paint and sticks well plus its easy to touch up.

I put some on a set of alloys with the intention of lacquering over the Hammerite. I decided to forgo the lacquering in case I needed to touch up but never needed to touch up and didn't peal.
