In my experience Rustoleum is much tougher than Krylon.  It seems that 
Krylon's only advantage is shorter drying/curing time.  Rustoleum takes 
weeks to reach full hardness if not baked.  Painted finish hardens in a 
couple of days when placed in attic (120 to 130 degrees) in warmer weather.

Enamels (Rustoleum is one) are tougher than lacquers.   However, lacquers 
will flow, hiding minor surface imperfections and giving that "wet" look.
