I should add I did the differential and leaf springs too. The paint is almost water thin(thus as mentioned wear clothing you don't care about for it drips off the brush easily) but goes on and self levels, thus no brush marks as stated above. If you prep it with the marine clean(in kit) it will bond very well, especially to rusted surfaces. I recently had to grind two spots on the frame for ground wires, and was amazed at how tough the stuff was to get off. Started with sand paper, ended with electric grinder!
I also went out and looked at the can it's a quart, not pint sorry for misinfo, but point is it goes a long way!

I was asked this question the other day regarding work I used to do on commerical trucks and tractor trucks; we would always( on all over paint jobs at least paint the chassis, just to make the job look better, we used a cheap acrylic enamel, but thinned it with laquer thinner and used a fast 2k hardener. It wasnt super shiny, but dried really fast and the hardener gave ti some durability. It's a cheap and easy fix for a car that getsd driven a lot...tho you're probly looking for a better looking or more durable fix I thought it was worth sharing in case anyone could use it!
