Default swingarm paint ?

how well do you think auto paint would hold up on a swingarm thats used mostly in the sand?

I dont think it would do too bad, but if you want it to say on there and last and look good I would have it powder coated, I heard that holds up alot better than paint.

I'll second Blue on the por15 stuff. I know a guy who painted his frame on a T bucket, with a brush, and it looks GREAT. Really tuff stuff too. This same Tbucket is really low so I'm sure it gets hiy with a bunch of rocks, no chips yet.
