The Rustoleum Appliance paint is not a strict epoxy as one would normally think. That is, it is not a polymer of epichlorhydrin and bisphenol. This paint is what they describe as an epoxy modified alkyd that uses a cobalt drier to cure. In layman's terms this is basically an alkyd paint (as most Rustoleum products) that has some functionality of epoxy polymer grafted into the alkyd resin. This likely means it will have better UV resistance than straight amine catalysed epoxies, but maybe less so than straight Rustoleum alkyd paint. The epoxy functionality gives the some additional hardness to the film. Polymer chemistry hat off.I have used this paint for a number of brackets, side stands, etc. with good results, but not on an entire frame.
