need some advice tonight from the board!
i am painting my chassis with the recommended satin paint from msgross and pm industries.but for the components like spindles, pitman arms, springs..etc. is there any other paint that you can recommend. i prefer a paint that i can get locally and not have to order online. what about heat resistant paints that are thicker and more resistant than regular paints???

thanks for any advice you can advice

Ditto or check with your local auto parts store or hardware store for a quality product. I also visit my local Tractor Supply store or hardware store for this type of product. It pays to apply the correct product in this area for longevity.

I painted my spindles with Duplicolor gray engine enamel. It filled and leveled beautifully.
