Finally got my frame painted!

I finally got around to painting the rear section of my frame, getting it ready for the flat bed that should be going on the truck next weekend. After 10+ hours of labor, $40 worth of supplies, and 3 paintbrushes, my frame is nice and pretty. I thought I did a pretty good job for an 18 year old in a carport over one weekend. But i took some pictures for you guys to see.

Re: Finally got my frame painted!

I used Rustoleum "Rusty Metal Primer" and "Gloss Black" protective enamel. Looks pretty darn good to me. I had another picture but I had too many in my last post.

That came out nice! Rust-Oleum products are the best.

What you started with is 10x better than my frame. Nice job though.

The before picture was AFTER I spent 4-5 hours grinding with a flapper wheel and wire brushing everything. She was rough before.

Thank you! I am very pleased with both the primer and paint. I will definitely keep using it.

Update! The bed is on! Found a tool box my uncle wanted to get rid of, and another new toy.
