the paint will wear off faster then a greased pig.
you best bet is to remove the rust and spray it with pam after each use and keep it in out of the weather. the out side is paintable it's also weldable to a plate so you can just bolt it to you work table.

its a set of metal plates of varying thicknesses
used to ajust spark plug gaps and the like.
you can do a search for them on ebay and pick one up cheep
starrett makes about the best guages on the market but there are others that will work just as well

losthelm

if you want somthing other then street signs you can purchas it through any metal supply. if you are up to the work you can cast your own sheets from scrap aluminum obtained form the local scrap yard.

losthelm

The local highway department is a good place to start. they will eiher tell you who buys the retired ones or sell a few directly to you.
