I wheel my Rig.  Just need some paint that will hold up, and keep the rust off from the elements.  I know it will be scratched that is what its there for  8)

Just any black paint will really work.. If you are really concerned about scrating it up just rhino line it or throw some por or similar product on it. Not sure why a hammered paint finish would matter, its an 8.25, if it was a spider trax rearend maybe or something fancy. But just paint it black. Plenty of coats of 99cent rattle can paint will work just fine.

Are you going to show it or wheel it?  Dang, just slap some black paint on there and go.  Gonna get scratched up anyway...

I said implement, not impotent paint. :P  They use it on tractors and farm equipment, because it DOES hold up well; sure you can use regular rattle can paint and it'll be just fine... but you'll be back repainting it much sooner.

Come on in, one of us will answer your questions.

Oh and axles can rust pretty bad in just a few years it would seem from my recent experience.
