I'm doing a few things and took my strut tubes and springs off. Just wondered what paint folks use when they're refreshing everything. I see a lot of gloss black (and some other colors) but wondered if it's just rattle can from the hardware store or something more tailored to the application. I know for high-heat items you need to get the appropriate stuff, but this is mainly for appearance on things that should not get hot.

flat black, and the "quick dry" under body coating.

I use high heat spray can, baked in the oven for extra strength.

I clean it pretty well and use Rustoleum hammered finish topcoat in either black or gray/silver.

I degrease that shit and leave it alone, spend rattle can money on actual parts

I use duplicolor ceramic high heat. Very durable and dries quick. Usually I degrease with purple power then pressure wash my suspension stuff first.
