What paint to use?

[millertime]

Well I just pulled my axles to clean up and well for fun. I figure I might as well paint em while they are out. What should I paint them with? I was thinkin Hammerite would do well but id like a second or third opinion.

:Love that Hammerite...used it on a 3ph motor in my shop and it looks like new...very professional looking...Can't say how it would last on the ground...Ever thought of powder coating?

yeah powder coating would be cool but im cheap and the hammerite is so easy.

OK, maybe I have been out of touch too long, what is Hammerite, and where can it be purchased??

I use Dupli-color engine enamel on all my stuff - Hard as nails dosnt chip on impact (very much ) and you can paint it right on top of greese and it still drys

Im already using the hammerite. Ive used it before and I love it. I mean its cheap and a spray paint can, great looking and I paint it on anything and it still looks great. I painted my trailor I was fixing up with it and the trailor looks like new. All I did was take a wire wheel to the thing and then painted. I pressure washed my axles and frame and so far the paint looks fantastic. Ill posts some pics when Im done if i can figure out how.

Oh and hammerite is sold wherever spray paint is sold. I got mine at fred meyer. And it also comes in a brush form.
