Frame and Wheel Well Paint

[Nca2013]

What kind of paint do you guys use on your frame and wheel wells? I've tried flat black krylon spray paint and rubber undercoating and they both get trashed by mud. they dont clean up and it looks like crap. any suggestions on a paint to use? or some kind of clear coat to easily wash mud off? thanks

I used rustoleum brush on gloss black on mine.

Por 15. It's made to paint frames/chassis with. If you paint anywhere with it that see's sunlight you will need to top coat it. UV rays degrade it over time.

You'll be fine on the frame though. It's pricey but a little of it goes a long way. There is a similar product called Chassis Saver that is a tiny bit cheaper and works just as good.


Paints like Rustoleum just don't have the grip to with stand the abuse of mud and road salt.

What's best for the top coat?

The KBS doesn't need to be topcoated like on a frame, it is already shiney.

That looks like a good product, but it's more expensive than Por15 if you do all the steps it requires. The only thing required to do for frame painting with Por15 is to wire brush all the loose rust off. You don't need to top coat if you're applying it to the chassis.
