Hi Mate . I used engine enamel on my front bar and it has copped a few knocks in the bush and the paint is still there . I had kill rust for starters but it was coming off . Roughly $14 for a spray can of engine enamel . I used a flat black :);)

Thanks Mick:cool:
That sounds like a good idea to me, engine enamel had crossed my mined:angel:
We used it on everything when we rebuilt the county even sprayed over wet surfaces and the paint still seems to be there:eek:

It's a pretty hardy paint when it will put up with extreme heat so it has to stick well . You could always paint it holden 186 red :D:p:wasntme:

kill rust! but not spray can crap. buy a 500ml tin and spray it your self, use a good zinc primer and put the kill rust on thick. do a first coat not to thick, let it tack off (bout 30min depending on how hot it is) then do a second coat over that. then do another coat the next day.

Do you have a spray gun at all?, killrust or its equivelant, thinned down 10%, through a spray gun is the goods:D

What about hammerite? I've never used it but it looks like it would be good for this application.

it looks good for the first 3 months then goes to poo... and you cant put it on thick and retain the hammer finish.

K & H (stocked at Autobarn, probably other places) do a heavy duty epoxy enamel in a spray can which which has great durability and comes up well on bullbars, roll bars, wheels etc.
