Advice needed (rear axle paint)

[Toohottotrot 10]

I have just purchased a brand new rear axle for my VR6. Any ideas on a better than standard paint finish to have applied?

I want to protect it better but keep an original look.

Thanks, Mj

POR-15 Starter kit from Frost.co.uk gets my vote. Plenty of coverage in my Plum thread.

Hi

I used 2 pack etch primer and 2 pack satin black on all my axles / subframes with clear waxoil to finish it all off.

We use the etch and black to allot of the off road builds we do and its a fairly chip free hard wearing finish.

id go for something painted on over a sandblasted finish , that way you can touch bits in and do part repairs in the future

 

por15 is very hard and does well on blasted steel

 

epoxy primer would be a decent choice too , theres rustbuster epoxy mastic , or jotamastic on ebay theyre less fussy on the prep if you wont have it blasted

Powdercoating can't really be touched up, and the second it gets chipped it just starts cracking. My 2p.
