Re: Paint the Frame same color ???

Re: Paint the Frame same color ???
Since red is 1K dollars per gallon for base and to do a whole truck inside and out would take two gallons plus the candy unless your using HoK candy basecoat, I say go red if you can afford it. If its always garaged and only driven on sunny days then do the red on the frame, the cross members, control arms and core support but paint the springs black and all the nuts and bolts black as well.

Re: Paint the Frame same color ???
Its your truck! You decide what you wanna do! But I would have to say Satin or High Gloss Black...or heck...do a double tone frame..you can do most of it black and some red if you wanna really get artistic.

Re: Paint the Frame same color ???
Everyone does black. I would go with something else. Maybe silver powdercoat. Red might be too much red, black is boring, white to match the top would be wrong and black is boring. JMO

Re: Paint the Frame same color ???
this was done in the 80's on a lot of street rods as the bodys were all color. no chrome. show cars probably still done. if you want it shinny, power coat it gloss black.
