I'm looking for the most durable spray paint I can get.
thanks,

They have a frame paint in the rattle can that is much heavier than the stuff at autozone or other discount stores.

Only problem it takes forever to dry.

It has just the right texture for detailing parts like this. I like Ace premium enamal for gloss colors. Rustoleum rusty metal primer is great over ruted areas. It can be topped coated as soon as it flasses over or the next day. There color paints dry way to slow.

I've done the whole front axle & brake hrdwr. assy. I've only found it in black, or white though. Spray 2 or 3 coats within 30 min. of each coat. Then let dry for a week. Unless you can bake it somehow. I think you'll be pleased. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 65 Member | | Member Joined: Jan 2003 Posts: 65 | I've used rattle cans from Home Depot from Rustoleum that are "industrial hardness". They are generally taller cans and basic colors. They have a yellow hard hat as a logo. There's even a cold galvanizing compound. $6 a can. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 164 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2001 Posts: 164 | There should be many good threads in the archives on this topic going back several years.
