Status: offline 		I just purchased a pair of Tetherite glass filled landing gear legs for my scratch built profle but would like to know if the regular Rustoleum spray paint will work on it or is there another type of paint that would be a better choice.

A much better way would be using automotive 2-part paint. Problem is that you need a compressor and spray equippment to do so.
