subframe paint?

[BasicMinusBA]

i'm currently in process of doing some subframe work and was wondering 2 things first being what kind of coating should i get done on my subframe and what the general price of the procedure would be. I heard powder coating was the best option but i dont really know anything about this subject any information will help, thanks

I use hammerite (paint here in the netherlands )

Why powder coating an subframe?

i would rather powder coat my subframe,but i don't have a big enough oven.i used eastwood's chassis black for my subframe's

here is a thread about the bushing's.ronniek is a good guy to work with and supplies bushing's for the whole car.i just ordered a pair to mount my new steering rack to complete mine.
just shoot him a PM,he doesn't take long to reply

I used POR-15 rust paint as a base layer with a topcoat of chassiscoat black (2 coats each). The finish is extremely durable and is UV safe.

edit: the subframes were sandblasted prior to painting.

^^^i used the eastwood brand rust enhibitor kit with there chassis black.stuff is just plain evil and gave me a good buzz ,even though i did it outside with a respirator on.
