spray paints

So what is your preference? What colors, brands, or textures work good for what?

For axles, I've recently started using the Rustoleum hammered black. It gives awesome coverage and has proved to be very durable. Its mostly a semi-gloss and works great for covering up imperfections.

For bumpers and such I like to use the Rustoleum truck bed liner. Awesome coverage and durabilty.

For most everything else, its the Lowes $1 flat black.

I have never had good luck with hammered, seems to just chip off.

I usually pick up a case of this using the Advance Auto 40% off coupon so its pretty cheap and it hardens to dam near powdercoat. I paint pretty much everything with it.

I've personally never had much luck with any duplicolor products. Rustoleum is the best all around. The whole key is prep work.

I painted my front bumper in hammered black and I don't think it's held up very great but it also could use some extra coats on it I think. I've always only painted my ish in rustoleum and always liked it the best compared to others.

I'll agree most duplicolor paints are so so, but the acrylic enamel is super tuff once its cured.

The advance coupons are this, but they change everynow and then. I just do a google search when its time to make a purchase.

Ill give some a try. I have used the duplicolor engine enamel before and liked it. I've noticed that its a little on the watery side though. I do like the hemi orange.:grin:
