I have even printed them using latex house paint. 305 and trip down the dryer.

Laquer paint does work well. Did an ink test on plastisol through a fine mesh and down the drier and it scuffed badly when run through the die-cutter last night as I thought I could cheat and not mix up a PMS but use ink I had mixed in plastisol already. If you ever print polyester coated aluminium you will find paint lacer can print easier with better adhesion than many inks, or even 50/50 mixes with marabou / manoukian inks....
