Latex will come off in the rain I think. I'd go for the cheap tractor enamel. It's around $40 a gallon from TSC or similar farm store. I got a gallon of JD Blitz black from the dealer for $37.

Enamel, not latex. Unless you are painting a barn.
But why paint it if you are going to sand it off? Just a waste of money there IMO. If you want to paint it then paint it, if not then don't. Just don't fake it...

I would suggest oil base for a barn.
Latex on steel won't adhere well and will peel off while driving from bug and rock hits. It would probably look like the car started to burn up re-entering the atmosphere - that might be a cool effect?
painting with Latex
they make Latex to paint steel and if it prime it still well seem to be more and more people buying it to paint there cars and trucks but I have to agree that it not the best so I still thinking I painted the hood and it look good but then again it I use the right one it will be done here in calif most paint is water base now so there not a lot of oil base left
