Default Best paint for quick fix

Need to paint my fender after my wreck. I'll be painting the whole truck black again one day but for a quick fix what's the best rattle can to use on this fender?

Duplicolor works well. Sand it, clean it, paint it, clear it. If done correctly that fender should look better than the rest of the truck.

Rustoleum sucks. I like Krylon, or Duplicolor.

That would be improper prep.

I calls it likes I sees it.

Rustoleum dries soft, and the Florida sun beats the **** out of it.

id believe that if it was my first job, but all my rusto jobs are doing fine and my kry job is crap. i think the heat has a big thing to do with it kus we rarely see higher then 95 where i live. i think 90 was the high this yr.

Just the opposite for me. The Krylon looks great but the Rustoleum fades in a couple weeks.
