I just used regular spray paint thats the GM touch up color for my car. Prime and paint and clear if you like. Its been there for going on 3 years with no problems.

Not newb its in my pictures folder here so I don't know why it wouldn't link.

Any way as for the fisheyes 2 things come to mind. First and very important what temperature is it where your doing the painting? If its cold no amount of prep work will
save it. It needs to be above 60 and with low humidity for the paint to adhear correctly.
Second soap and water are not enough. Get a product called TOTAL PREP. Its in an spray can and all you do is spray it on and let it sit then wipe it off with a CLEAN paper towel. Then prime and paint. Don't forget the prime part! Its important too.

Good luck.
