I want to paint an axle and springs etc. Whats the best paint to use? Ive used Hammerite in the past and don't like it as it seems to chip easy.

Have used RC car paints on coil springs and it has proved very durable even in off-road applications.

This is now a clicky linky!  |

2K - highly durable, full choice of colours... toxic and requires spray equipment to apply. But remains flexible enough on stuff like springs and the like. Well, more so than powder coat or hammerite etc does.
Isn't RC car paint expensive to buy in the quantity you'd need?
I tend to use Chassis Black on non-flexing stuff under a car. Works well (or so it seems) and isn't expensive.
