I used Rustoleum primer and satin black (3 coats each), After I prepped it for paint. Turned out really nice, However, I do not drive it year round and it is not my daily driver.

We had an out of state customer paint his new Moser 9 inch out in our driveway several years ago with this paint, while we swapped heads on his car. He brushed it on and the sun flowed it out to where it looked great! We installed the rear the next day and we were impressed with how well it looked. Bob

I used some bright red Sherwin Williams paint I had left over from painting my kitchen. I just brushed it on over the grease and dirt, it turned out awesome!

I am going to spray mine with truck bed liner, my brother is getting his truck done soon, so adding it in to his order at the shop was only another fifty bucks!
