I need to paint some parts, such as targa latches, suspension parts and more. I know that powder coating is the way to go, but I am not there yet. what is the best spray paint to use and what to use to soak these parts clean?

Im a big fan of the Wurth paints, but I have the luxury of getting them through work, otherwise they can be somewhat pricey. For trim pieces and such they are great, can't beat the finish; but for suspension components im not so sure how they'd hold up.

VHT sells a satin black roll bar paint that is really quite tough. I sprayed my entire suspension, and am hard pressed to find any really nicks in the finish when I'm under the car cleaning up dirt and mud from daily driver duties. It's held up well Id say.
