Frame paint?!?!?

I am startign to paint all my frame and rearends and suspentio on my ford F-250 (since the bed is off im going to paint everything under the truck and get rid of all of the rust under her). It'll need a paintjob after i put all th enew sheetmetal on it anyhow. But what i wondered is what kind of paint do you guys use on your frames? I bought 5gallons of black asphult fence paint at farm store (my neibor used that on his tiltbed and it been holding up pretty good. I been wirewheeling what I could and rest using the wirebrush. I was just wonderign what all paint do you guys use on your frames? My truck is't going to be restored and itll be a daily driver but i want everything on it to look nice thats all.
thanks,
Jimmy

I've always used good 'ol Rustoleum slopped on with a roller and brush. Have it sand blasted if you can. Forget the wire brushing.

Without a doubt (in my book), Zero Rust is the way to go. Inexpensive and available in a rattle can. Best of all, it stops rust dead.

You can also use Por-15. Its expensive but you can paint over rust.

I don't know if por-15 is any different now, But 10 yrs. ago when I first used it, if you got it on your hands..it didn't come off.( found that out the hard way) good stuff though.
