Enamel on...Enamel!  

++++

I work in a sign shop that specializes in vinyl decals and I've got a job that requires something more durable. I need to paint logos on twelve news stand boxes for a local college and I'm not sure what sort of paint would be best suited for this.

Every websearch I've tried gives me scores of silk screening and paint sources for fabrics and other porous materials -- and the articles here would be more than sufficient, were I coating the original metal box, but I've had no luck finding anything specific on paints for this type of situation.

The boxes are glossy green, either enamel or powdercoat, so I'm going with simple white lettering on the logos, gloss preferred here as well. I'm not certain how well regular latex-acrylic type paint would be sufficient, or if I should look into something like auto-body paint. I'd very much prefer non or low fuming. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
