 I don't know if it is even still available, but years ago I painted the frame on my race car with Dupont Imron.  It was the most durable paint available at the time, and my experience reflected that.  The stuff is very toxic, so you must use a very good respirator.

Grey will show cracks better than black.  POR is the first thing that came to mind for me, but it's been YEARS since I used it.
 
Cheers, Tony

 I'd suggest POR 15.  Depending on the color, the number changes.  I think 15 is black.  Gray is something else, maybe 10.  Spray or brush on.  I've used Rustoleum as the touchup rattle spray cans are perfectly matched to the quart cans, and you can get it just about anywhere.  POR products might be a little more durable than Rustoleum.  If the frame is bare metal, an epoxy primer is a good start, but with POR I "think" you can skip the primer.     Dave H.         On 09/27/2023 5:55 PM PDT McKearn McKearn via Fot <fot at autox.team.net> wrote:            Hi All. 
    It's been a long time since I've painted a frame and I'm just wondering what the latest / greatest thing to use is for a race car frame ? It's already sand blasted if that matters..      Thanks.  P.J.   _______________________________________________
