I’ve read multiple posts lately here and on other sites about Steel It rattle can paint. Apparently the proprietary component of their paint is inclusion of tiny stainless steel particles that are corrosion resistant and make the paint very durable. From what I’ve read, a lot of the desert racers are using it on their chassis components and roll cages. I’m looking for a highly durable, excellent corrosion protection paint in a rattle can application for my frame, axle housings, suspension components, steering components and other similar parts. I will either be having these parts media/sand blasted or I will be wire wheeling them to near rust-free metal. Reason I’m looking for a rattle can application is because I want to be able to quickly and easily touch up areas if I make changes or the paint gets scratched, chipped, etc. From reading the literature from the manufacture, the purpose of their primer (interestingly all of their primers are only available in a spray gun application, not a rattle can) that they recommend for their polyurethane rattle can is not for adhesion but for an “additional layer of protection”. I’ve read that many people have used the polyurethane rattle can directly on bare metal with excellent results which is what I’m considering doing.
If you’ve used it, I’d appreciate any and all feedback on it. Specifically I’d like to hear from people who have used it directly on fresh/bare rust-free metal.

) in the past day or two and several guys chimed in about how much they liked it on their race vehicles. They felt it held up very well to the almost sand-blast conditions that many rigs find themselves in during a race.
