...and while I'm asking. I will be installing welded on sliders and would like to paint them and that large tie-rod that you see in the photo with the same paint...

Tie rod just has Rustoleum primer and satin black top-coat that I threw on it last summer when it was installed. I would rather have something a bit more substantial. I realize that on new steel I will need to clean, sand, etc. before anything will stick very well.

I did search and found some good threads on painting new steel (e.g. Latinoguy asking about new sliders) but I couldn't find much specific to axles and/or steering parts. Lot's of good info on body and frame painting. Maybe frames and axles should have similar treatment?

Thanks!
