What prep to the surface did you do? Other than just cleaning it did you have to rough it up a little to get the paint to stick?
I lightly roughed with 300 grit then cleaned with alcohol. The RJT spray is expensive. I had some left over from doing my interior trim pieces so I didn't go out and have to buy a new can. If you have other stuff to paint the same color it would be cost effective to do your dipstick, otherwise it might cost you $50 for primer, base and clear!
