Need advice on choosing white paint to finish my stand.

I'm getting ready to skin my stand and like the white finish I see on so many tank threads. For those of you with white stands, can you tell me what brand/color white you chose and if you are happy with it? Thanks!

Thanks so much. Is that the kind with no odor? Do you remember the exact color? Also, was the primer in the paint or was that separate?

And I take it you sanded it lightly between coats. What grit did you use? And did you sand the primer? Sorry for all the questions but I want to do it right!

I used rustolium on my steal stand and the wood under the tank and sump. I bought quart cans and sprayed it on the stand after a coat of primer.
