What kind of paint to use on subframe & rear end

[Bonebuster29]

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

I will be doing the same with my nova soon and I own a body shop....I will be doing them in imron if that means anything..... powder coat tough. Just don't plan on buffing it ....not happening with imron

that's actually what I was going to use, but decided to go with powder coating instead..

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...

Looks great!

Just curious what did it cost to have your sub frame powder coated?

I just had mine finished. To blast, and powder coat $300

Go to your local John Deere dealer and buy some Blitz Black which is a very nice looking satin black. Easy to touch up and it is the most durable paint you will find in a can. I painted my subframe and engine compartment with it. Two years later, 8000 miles and several engine removals it still looks good and I can touch it up easily.
