When I finally get around to doing mine, I'm going to use Rust Bullet. Tough stuff...
i always just use rustoleum (or similar) primer and then some cheap rattle can black paint. Its gonna get beat on and abused... no point in getting exotic (read expen$ive) with paint/powder.

I sand blasted mine and used Krylon brand-the rust preventing line, can't remember what they call it. It's held up fine so far.

That POR 15 stuff is hard a nails, but not cheap. I like appliance epoxy, it is designed to be "scrubbed" by an angry housewife after you make a mess and take a beating!

POR 15 is good, but depending on the use, it needs to be painted over, after it's applied. For axles you could probably get away with not painting.
Heres a bit from their FAQ
MUST I PAINT OVER POR-15 TO MAKE IT LAST?
No, but POR-15 has an ultra-violet sensitivity and must be topcoated if continually exposed to sunlight. Once topcoated, POR-15 will remain effective for many years.
WILL THE SUN DESTROY MY POR-15 COATING IF I DON'T TOPCOAT IT?
No, your POR-15 protection will remain, but the sun will change its appearance cosmetically. That's why we recommend you topcoat it.
