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

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
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.
