Undercarriage paint

[ajarofclay]

Converting to late model disc brakes and need some opinions on what is best to paint miscellaneous parts and control arms with. I'm thinking undercoating paint? Any other opinions. I need to double check but I think I have to paint spindles, calipers Etc also.

Regular old paint. I use Eastwood paints as they offer different Argent/silver/grey combo's. For black I use Home Depot for flat/semigloss/gloss.

VHT chassis and roll bar paint is a personal favorite.

It does depend on what look you're going for.

I wasn't going for OEM correct but I wanted a look better than just painting everything black. I left many parts natural finish but coated them with RPM paste:

This helps the parts stay looking fresh.

Otherwise, I'll paint other stuff a semi-flat black.

You can use spray cans but you'll get a more durable finish using catalyzed enamel sprayed from a gun. I always use etching primer on bare metal first.

I’ve always had good luck with VHT's epoxy paints, goes on very well.
