Its more expensive then most paints but check out Por15.  It dries VERY hard and can take a beating.  Works great on axles and frames.

POR15 has some great stuff I think its called chassis black or something like that, cheaper than the actual POR15 and not damadged by UV.  I used it on my dump trucks frames and 8 years later still looks great.

Just did the frame on my 86 with rustolem rust converter. Looks killer. Kind of satin black, easy to use, cheap @ 5$ a can.  :disturbed:

I came across a product at the auto parts store called Chassis Coat. It's quite a bit cheaper than Por 15 and it is basically the same product.

My buddy uses Hammerite in a can. Very tough, brushes on with a paint brush or roller or gun if you thin it out. Not that expensive for what you get if you buy it in a can like that.
