I found that it scratches off in some cases of heavy use, but it's cheap enough on the budget and easy enough to find that it really doesn't matter how much damage to the paint occurs, you can just reapply.

Testors is the cheap way to go if you're looking for wide selection of colour. It's just a shame it isn't more durable, or it'd be -THE- perfect airsoft paint. No point in shelling out big bucks on DuraCoat if you've got access to Testors.

Here's my scale of quality (best to "so-so"):

DuraCoat
Testors
Krylon
Roberts*

*Roberts hasn't been discussed, but I find the cost to return ratio isn't good enough for a field gun. I've heard of some people using it and being happy with the results.

It's an automotive touch-up paint in a spray can. Mind you, the colours are awesome, and you can colour match almost every car. But for airsoft, it falls short in durabilty and cost. Though I would recommend it for a show gun above the others, that's for damn sure, especially if you want to match it to Jeep OD.

Plus it doesn't hurt that they're located in Longueuil, Quebec.
