[Closed] Alternatives to Hammerite spray for a frame?

Hi all,

Couple years ago I painted an aluminium frame with black Hammerite Direct to Rust spray, and it worked a treat. It was for a dirt jump bike, so durability wasn't a huge issue.

Same situation again, want to paint a dirtjump frame (raw aluminium) black, but ideally using a cheaper paint than Hammerite (£11 a tin, need 2). Don't want to powder coat as it's pricier and means removing the BB and headset.

Any suggestions?

Ta,
Duane.

OK great, thanks, and a lacquer isn't needed on the top of that?
