Default Rust on A-arms

From riding through brush and other trail objects I noticed that the paint on the underside of my A-arms has been worn off. So now the metal is rusting. And when I paint them, the paint just gets worn off again. Is there any solutions to preventing this without having to buy aluminum A-arm guards? Any ideas would be appreciated.

I've seen spray on bedliner material on them, but usually a good powerdercoat will stay on there.

a powder coat should stay on there pretty well and it won't cost very much (maybe $40 max) I've never heard of a bed liner on a-arms sounds like a good idea though

I figured that the stock A-arms were already powdercoated. But where can I get powder coating done?

I think there just painted with a clear coat on top of it....not sure though. Check around with your local dealers or paintshops or somepeople in your area they should be able to find out if you have a store around or if you're going to have to shop them to somewhere

Theres some stuff at autozone called like underbody spray for cars. I put it on my cars new gas tank when i installed it. So far it hasnt worn off. I bet that stuff would prolly work pretty good on a-arms. it wasnt $$$ either only like 6 bucks or something. Just clean your a-arms real good dry em off and put like 2-3 coats of that stuff. It should work great
