Paint recommendations for crash bars

[kzz1king]

I have the older style bathtub bars and they really take a beating from the bugs. I don't want to powder coat. I am thinking of the 2K type paint for them. Are there any other suggestions of something that might work better?

Also looking at polishing up all the painted pieces while I have them off. What is a good swirl remover that isn't too hard on clear coat?
Thanks

I'm trying out some spray paint called Raptor that auto zone is selling for $16 a can. It's being used on some parts under the hood of my truck. I'm also using some paint on the frame called chassis saver. A quart is about $40. It should be thin enough to spray right out of the can. It seems to be pretty tough. A little goes a long way. If you get any on you, it's going to be there for quite a while. DAMHIK

I got some A-Z Engine Metallic that's an almost identical match for the stuff used on the frame components. Will look it up and post the P/N.

I use a rustolium (sp?!?) rattle can in flat black that is a primer and paint all in one, however I do not keep my bike in show condition.

I don't either . The original was chipping badly so I scuffed it up and used a Rust-Oleum product, a hammered paint. Looked great but didn't hold up.

I am considering it but brush on.

Mine's a 30ft custom!
