I use automotive grade epoxy paint, super tough, but not near as expensive as powdercoating. make sure that you put some etching primer on that bare metal frame or epoxy primer so it wont rust all up

I had my frame,front and rear hubs,motor mounts and shock spring powdercoated lime green for 150 dollars and I do believe that is cheap! and it come out 100 times better than any spray can could do

well even with epoxy paint and the hardner for it is only around $50, and its not spray can either:naughty:
