What to paint some parts with?
 
Anyone know of a good product that I can paint my hubs and spindles with? Everything is sandblasted and ready for paint. Looking for something tough but from a spray can.

If your stuck on spray can, and your single, get engine enamel, spray the parts, when they have dried enough to handle without scratching, put them in the oven at 300 for 30 min. Will be hard as nails. Still not going to give you durability of a catalized paint, but will be much better than as shot from the can. If your married, the oven thing might be a no go.:_paranoid

if you POR15, top coat with a paint with uv block in it. straight POR15 will die in the sun.

Will sun be a problem on hubs and spindles?

If you spray POR15 through your HVLP gun, make sure you use a respirator. I understand that POR15 is pretty nasty stuff when sprayed.

I have seen frames painted with POR15 go from black to gray. Takes awhile but eventually it will fade
