What paint to use on rear beam?

Stripped my wide track rear beam down now and wire brushed most of the rust that was on it,i was going to get it blasted & mabe powder coated but wondering if the cost is going to make a difference on whats going to be a summer track/ring car and it would be quicker & easier to just paint it my self before building it up again.
Question is; what paint do i use?
Thoughts guy's please

 

powder coat is great til it chips, then it's harder to repair than normal paint.
if it's being blasted get some etch primer on it straight afterwards, then a couple of coats of stone chip proof paint.
don't know what the hammerite stone chip stuff is like, but i used ordinary hammerite and rust is already starting to show through.

 

i likes rustoleum

Thanks for the quick reply's lads!

Geat finish with that pigbladder i will be brushing not spraying so might give it a go

 

brushes on nice too

 

Rust-oleum is the way forward if you don't want to pay for Powdercoating - dries as an enambel and way better than Hammerite

 

hammer****e - dont use it..

 

I've been saying that for years - always makes me laugh when people on here recommend it - it really is awful stuff.

 

if it rhymes with sh*te it can't be good..
