Something wet and black. :P Seriously though are you brushing it or spraying it? And what's your budget.

Second this ^

Its all about the prep. This paints too good to waste with bad prep
Theres 2 stages of P0R15 prep . Marine clean and some other metal ready stuff. Not the cheapest but impressive results


Do it once , do it right

Por15 is mint but expensive for under your 4wd, diffs rtc id jyst yse that wattyl? Killrust stuff, I use it often. Sticks well to metal easy to spray/brush and cheap enough. Tom uses an industrial black cant remember the name, maybe pm him. I know steel n tube sell it.

United Paints Unichem satin black. Reasonable price, nice finish and dries quickly. Have to prime it first tho :wink:
CRC Black zinc is another good product, just more pricey.
Whatever you use make sure the surface your painting is spotless and well sanded to give the paint something to grip too.

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my grandfather did — in his sleep. Not yelling and screaming like the passengers in his car.
