    How has the paint held up during washing? I get a lot of bug guts on the front of my truck and usually have to use a bug scrubber (sponge with the mesh material over it) to get the bug guts off. What kind of paint did you use? I have a can of spray on Desert Sand Mica from Duplicolor. I am just worried about the durability of the paint.
