Eastwoods Chassis Black. You can put it in your paint sprayer or brush it on.

I used Eastwood's Extreme Chassis Black right out of the spraycan, goes on nicely and seems pretty tough.

Not to hijack the thread or anything.  But what would you use on a set of new leaf springs clear coat or your favorite rattle can color?  I did sand and paint my axle in VHT gloss black.

I've used everything from auto urethanes out of a gun with a flattening agent to rattle can spray bombs.
Hi-grade urethanes or enamels are best, even cheaper lower line acrylic enamels are a good choice.

If I were to use a spray bomb, the Eastwood Chassis Black is good stuff. It's a epoxy paint so it sticks well & is durable. I don't like to use it on underhood items, I just didn't like the way it looked after a while. If you compare it to other blacks, it looks "browner". For a rear housing it would do fine.

I got my housing powder coated when I had it all apart along with all my other parts like K frame,control arms, transmission cross member, etc.Back when everthing was all apart.Then painted it all with urathene black to give it a shine.The only reason i got it all power coated is because it was free for me at the time so I took advantage of it while I could.
