Chassis Paint Questions

[Jaybr]

I've got my 74 about torn down to the frame, having the frame powder coated. When I did the chassis work 2 years ago I cleaned and rattle canned the axles, brake calipers, etc with chassis paint. I wasn't looking for show quality finish at the time and did not put any primer down. Now that I'm tearing it all down again I'm thinking about repainted the chassis parts and would like y'alls opinion. I've moved and have a new shop and now have good air supply and a paint gun, would I be better off using that than rattle cans? I don't have a paint booth, so how do you guys suggest spraying? I also don't want to strip the axles again, so would just tape up everything I don't want paint on, is it possible to get a good finish that way?

Also any suggestions on which primer and paint to use? color will be satin black.

SPI epoxy primer....they also have a matte black single stage depending on mix ratio of activator you can go from a egg shell to a flat flat finish

I have had really good luck with the Eastwood products. Their 2K chassis paint in satin black sure lays down good in my opinion. I used their epoxy primer last time as the base and then the satin 2K on top. A very forgiving combination in my opinion. I am sure there is a cheaper more cost effective alternate out there, but hard to beat some of the Eastwood products.
