For an art project, I'm painting my black 1995 Volvo 850 white with spray paint. Then me and my friends are going to paint onto the spray paint. We're wondering, however, what kind of paint we should use. Because we're doing art, we want colorful and durable paint. I'm planning on coating the car in a clear gloss at a body shop, but I need this paint to hold up for at least a week so that I can get the money to send it to said shop.
I basically just need to know if anyone has any idea which paints won't crack or come off with rain. Acrylic, oil-based, whatever 
.
Please, I'm tired of people telling me not to do this. It's my car, don't argue with my plans.
I would recommend airbrushed or sprayed enamel. I would stick with something that an auto shop like Schuck's or Maaco would suggest, however. Art cars have been a fun outlet for the artist and car enthusiast over the years: http://www.artcarfest.com/info.html
