Default Easiest paint for wheel wells?

What paint is everyone using for their wheel wells? I used undercoating on my last jeep and it didn't turn out very well...

Any good paint to use that takes very little prep work and will last a long time?

I used 80grit sandpaper and undercoat, I know you said you used that last time, but mine turned out fine.

krylon fusion...haven't used it on the JK yet but it is just wipe and spray and holds up very well unless you are hitting it on stuff in which case nothing will last. thats what I will use on mine once i need to, i used it on my nissan a lot and it works great.
