frame, axle paint

What do you guys recommend for painting frame and axles, diff covers and such? A flat black spray can, or anything in particular? I just want to tidy those areas up when it finally warms up. Any special prep work, or just clean and spray? thanks, Jumpn

btw, I plan on doing my rear fenderwells with the spray can bedliner. Any other thoughts for that?

If you're rusted you can pick up some Rustoleum rust converter. If it's not rusted too much you just clean it up beforehand. As far as what to put on it, I used rubberized undercoating on mine. It made the wheel wells and undercarriage really dark. Cleans up very easy. Very simple project yet makes an amazing difference on appearance.

i tried the spray bedliner on my fenderwells and its starting to flake off, maybe i didnt put it on think enough, but idk.
