Suspension / Frame Paint
So I have been looking all over this site for what to paint my frame and suspension parts with, specifically my new spindles and calipers. It seems to be a toss up between Eastwood Extreme chassis black and POR15 for the frame, but what about the suspension components? (spindles, calipers etc).
Can I get a solid recommendation form someone who has painted there frame and suspension, driving the poo out of there truck and still likes what they see? Thanks a bunch |
Re: Suspension / Frame Paint
Por-15 seems to be hit and miss for me. Sometimes good results, sometimes it peels off. And I ALWAYS prep per the instructions. I'm ready to try something else.

Re: Suspension / Frame Paint
Though I haven't gotten mine on the road yet, in the past I have used POR-15. It has worked well but I didn't like the fact they did not offer a spray version and there are some serious warnings about spraying POR-15.
My current build, I decided to try Eastwood's Rust Encapsulator primer and Satin Chassis black. So far I have been very happy with how they apply. I do clean everything up and do a wax/grease remover wipe down before painting. So far so good but only once I getting driving will I really know. Sorry not more help. |

For cast spindles I have just been using a good coat of spray bomb prime followed by flat black. I have used hi-temp like for BBQ's and such with good results too. Josh MT I have the spindles for my dually done and waiting for install if you'd like to swing by for a look. |

Chassis Black ...

Re: Suspension / Frame Paint
Although the finish is maybe not what you are looking for, the Rustoleum 'Hammertone' line is extremely tough. It comes in rattle and quarts that can be sprayed; kinda reminds me of some powdercoating, actually. There is a guy in the 60-66 section that painted his 4x4 frame with it and he said it has stood up to his offroading so far.

Re: Suspension / Frame Paint
I have used the MasterSeries line of paints on my spindles, rearend, and front crossmember and am very pleased. Super tough and easy to use. I sprayed it on.

Re: Suspension / Frame Paint
Anyone used Dupont products?
Shane, as far as Eastwood Chassis Black, do you purchase it from them, or from an online supplier? |
Re: Suspension / Frame Paint
I purchased mine from my local auto paint supply store.
You can use INDUSTRIAL Rustoleum thinned with acetone (50/50) to achieve a similar look. |

Over the years I have had great results with all of the Eastwood products. I have never used Chassis Black, but just about everything else they offer in a spray can.
Here's a couple pics of what the various paints look like in use. |
Re: Suspension / Frame Paint

And I'm also curious which gray you used on your drums/rotors. Was it Spray Gray? |
