Default What kind of paint to use on subframe & rear end

I'm getting ready to paint my subframe and rear end and curious what paint everyone is using. Was originally going to powdercoat them but thinking I'd rather paint them instead incase I ever need/want to do touch on them. I'm painting them both black if that matters any

I used Eastwood's Extreme Chassis Black on rear end. Seems to be holding up well.

I'd powdercoat them . Much tougher material and it can still be touched up

Oh ya, the industrial imron is very tough stuff! Not sure how it holds up to grease/fluids but I was going to give it a shot until I decided to go with powder coat instead

Got my sub-frame back from powdercoating! Turned out amazing, so glad I chose this route...
