Merci Jack !=20

I was about to answer the same : Dupont (now Cromax) Imron 700 is a 2k =
polyurethane paint, HD stuff very durable, made for industrial use. I =
use it all the time for suspension parts, brackets, etc.

But you need to spray it and know what you are doing, it is indeed very =
toxic, and cannot be brushed.=20

Use the TDS and prime correctly (epoxy is a good recommendation, such as =
Cromax 840/845, but not too thick, again check the TDS and use correctly =
with the correct equipment).

Otherwise get it simply powdercoated (in a lighter coulour to easily see =
cracks, and leaks from components)

A presto !

I don't know if it is even still available, but years ago I painted the =
frame on my race car with Dupont Imron.  It was the most durable paint =
available at the time, and my experience reflected that.  The stuff is =
very toxic, so you must use a very good respirator.

Grey will show cracks better than black.  POR is the first thing that =
came to mind for me, but it's been YEARS since I used it.
