Want to paint a front beam with something durable. Black. Offroad tough.
Beam may be fully assembled so powdercoating may not be an option.
Ideas?

$50/gallon for zero rust.. makes about 3 gallons..
Looks like powder coating when done.
Forgot - direct to metal too.... in the same rust encapsulator class as POR etc.

Any good quality epoxy spray paint...if you have propely degreased....will last for decades. Ray

The beam has really got to be cleaned well. I used "Heavy Rust" Rustoleum. The finish coat was Duplicolor Low Gloss Engine Enamel....Looks great to me!
