heres what i've painted so far.. if you dont think it'll hold up then you're not doing something right. if you have any questions just feel free to ask! and btw, im just like you. i'd love to powdercoat but im not made of money.

if paint doesnt hold up, you did something wrong. heres a pic of my mojave with automotive paint, custom mixed at a paint shop. i did that paint job almost 2 years ago and its holding up. only about 2 chips on the lower a-arm

right after i painted it
