penetrols pretty good, dries really hard and possibly helps prevent rust. abit pricey tho about 85 bucks for 4 ltrs.

does this stuff come in different colours and fisnishes. looking for gloss black to paint my sliders and skid plate.....but without gettin powdercoating (which chips anyway). what would be good for this type of application?

gmh flat black or satin black etch primer both cheap both can be easily applied and touched up when damage occurs if ur after good finish powder is the only way to go but yes it does chip and has a huge film build so harder to repaor penetrols also a very good product but not sue if u can get it in differant finishes ,

Supacheap do a good 'CHASSIS BLACK' product and its around the $20 for 4lits.......
As for the "hose off" situation, I use a mixture of auto trans fluid and baby oil........ apply it with a kero wash gun to the areas that suffer mud adheasion the day before ya wheel...... whats stuck will hose off dead easy but most will fall off in the scrub before ya get home.
Its an old speedway drivers trick
