Frame Paint: How much paint would it take to cover
It will be on a long bed with leaf springs. considering tractor paint with matching primer or Eastwood Chasis Coat. Will e ordering in the next couple of days.
Wanting guesstimate: How much primer do you think it would take? How much top coat (flat black)?

Re: Frame Paint: How much paint would it take to cover
I figure I'll have less than 2 quarts with my chassis, (shortbed), but let me add that me and paint brushes are not friends. I make a mess, so I waste some. I love the Eastwood Rust Encapsulator. My $.02, don't buy it in the larger quatities, like the gallon. It'll go bad on the shelf once it is open. I recommend you buy no bigger than quarts and I think you should make it with 2 quarts.
I did not prime, nor am I top coating it. If you do topcoat it with Chjassis Black, then 2 quarts would be more than enough with that, but unless you want shiney black I recommend just the rust encapsulator covering.

Palfstep,
How did you prep your frame? Blast or a wire wheel? Did you degrease and powerwash for the RE? SLIMJIM

SlimJIM,
I sprayed it with ovenn cleaner, than pressure washed it. I them went over it with a wire brush (on the drill mostly). I then wiped it down the prep stuff eastwood sells or laquer thinner (which they also recommend). On my frame I used both because I ran out of the prep stuff I had. Once it dried, I brushed on the paint. I went back 2 days later (had to work in between) and put on a light second coat, mostly to cover some spots I missed.
