Default Spray painting underbody

Hey guys. I just had a quick question about spray painting the underbody and suspension. I hit most of the body with rust bullet and now I basically have no rust. But the suspension is need of some love and my patchy work with paint brushes isn't the best looking so I was thinking of just hitting everything with some spray paint. I was gonna use the rustoleum enamel paint. Can I spray over bolts and such with that stuff? And still want to be able to take the bolts out. I don't wanna screw myself over when I go to take something apart. Thanks

I always just use the cheapest flat black I can find. Works well and it wont mess your bolts up.

Use under coating on the body and spray paint on the suspension parts,And yes its better to mask off the bolts or remove them.

I use undercoating (the rubberized goopy crap) for the underbody.

And I use rustoleum textured for springs and everything else.

Black tractor enamel is excellent and cheap. Pretty cheap and can be found at tractor supply and most other farm supply stores
