this is my x-member, some of my fabrication is a little industrial but i had this tubing on hand



as for using spray bombs? never had much use for them
usually the paint looks ok until first time it gets dirty/oily/wet
you would probably be money ahead to brush on rustoleum
spray bomb paint goes on so thin that it takes many cans to get any paint thickness
i brushed on por15 on my frame, 25,000 miles on it and it still looks good
