Alternatives To Krylon Fusion?

So for some reason locally krylon fusion is no longer being sold. I've checked every hardware/paint and big box store in the surrounding ~30 miles.
Before I order some online I was wondering if anyone has used other spray paints with success.

I've bought krylon dual bond and some rustoleum paint that bonds to plastic. I just finished a pretty significant project and I used what I have for exterior plumbing but I'd like to finish and get this up and running since it's my day off. I sprayed two pieces of pvc the other night for testing but haven't submerged them yet. Any info is appreciated as I've found multiple conflicting sources online.

I also had trouble finding Krylon Fusion locally, and ordered it from Amazon. It's the only spray paint I've seen described as aquarium safe. I will say that it works beautifully and I have had no issues. I have also used Krylon Fusion clear on some elements inside the tank and had no adverse effects. Good luck!

I've used fusion many times over the years. I have a tiny bit left but its not enough for what I need. I know there's definitely alternatives but I was hoping to hear something like "I've used blah blah with no issues for years" just to ease my paranoia. Comparing cans I see no difference in fusion to the rustoleum brand.

Just an update;

So I checked the MSDS of fusion compared to the dual bond and rustoleum brand. The differences are only depending on color they both use the same chemicals and solvents otherwise.

I'm just gonna go for it.

I am letting the pieces I wanted to use cure 24 hours just to be safe but I popped the already painted test pvc into my small QTs with some "canary" danios and minnows. So far so good
