Hi all. Whats the best type of pressure pack paint to use. Im thinking of doing some of the cars parts like the crossmembers and rear axle/diff housing at home but I dont have spray gear or compressors etc. In the past Ive used a dulux etch primer and then the automotive colour followed by some clear coat. Im after a bit of durability to chipping off and I know getting it 2pacd or powder coated is a prefered option but Id like to do as much stuff myself and also save a bit

I have not used it but a mate at work has just painted his fuel tank with KBS "Rust Seal".
It's abrush on "self leveling" product and dries extremely hard with a glorious shine (he used gloss).

Also available in a variety of colurs and lustre.
He was very pleased with the result.
 

My local auto guy has a primerless polyurathane gloss black, its sick, hard, like way better than acrylic, enamel, best **** ever. Just wish i'd found it sooner. About $13 a can. 2 coats is all you'll need. only real problem is its a bit prone to runs when used over enthuasiastically. If i remember I'll get the brand name.

cool thanks guys Ill look into both products and see which one suits me best. If you could get the name Tex that would be great

Its called Hi Chem, Rust Not. Its an epoxy paint. I'm buying shares
