Subject: [alfa] pretty  rustproofing
 I'm getting ready to finish rebuilding the front suspension
 on the Alfetta-like-object in the garage.  Does anyone have
 a suggestion for what to paint the parts with after a
 thorough cleaning and/or mild sandblasting?  I've heard
 very good things about POR, but (cheap Alfa owner thing)
 would like something that's a bit less expensive -- there's
 still the rear end to do.  Would the engine enamel paints
 that they have at autozone work?  What have other people
 done? incredible rust protection isn't the utmost concern -
 -- after 25 years, the parts aren't rusty, so i don't
 forsee any rust coming soon.

 thanks.

Well, just to drive the cost up, I like to powder coat things. Really looks nice.
POR 15 is also very useful/good.
Krylon/Rustoleum may be the ticket for your project though, based on your comments above.
It'll look good for a while....
