Good paint to use on lighting?

[Tokay]

My 6ft light is getting a little old and the black paint is coming off in a few spots, along with a lil buildup. I started to sand off all the paint and extra stuff. Was thinking about what paint to use to repaint it.

Anyone have luck with a certain type of paint or brand?
If not im just going to paint it black and waterproof over that. Or a rubberized paint.

Krylon Fusion or a more expensive epoxy paint if you are painting plastic.

Krylon Fusion is for plastic materials.

Krylon® Rust Tough is what you may want.

Krylon is excellent paint.

Sorry, I worded that wrong. Those were both for examples of painting plastic. He didn't specify what material he was painting so I assumed plastic as painting metal is usually a no brainer.

I Probably should have said, If you are painting plastic you can use Krylon Fusion or a more expensive epoxy paint.
