strong,

I don't think that Plasti-Kote is really epoxy. There are a number of spray paints ( might be available as non-spray as well ) that are called "epoxy enamel" or "appliance epoxy", or other things, that are, evidently, not really epoxy. Most of them seem to be some kind of oil-based enamel. They might be just fine paints, but if they aren't two-part, they are not epoxy, I have been told. Whether they are fool proof seems to depend on the brand, etc. There have been a number of threads here about paints. Do some searches, and you may find that someone has tried the kind of paint you are thinking about.
