Have you thought about powder coat? It shouldn't cost very much, even less if you have access to a blast cabinet so you can do the prep.

yeah, but I was worried about the flexibility of powder coat on something that needs to move in that way. Have you had springs powder coated?

Not springs, but I'd bet it would hold up better than most paints. The bond is very strong, it's what I would go with...unless I could find some type of industrial epoxy paint, but you'd need to have that sprayed on by a professional(unless you can DIY).


I have heard a lot of good stuff about POR-15, it's something you could DIY easily.

If you want a professional look you'll need to find out what they use and go the same route.
