Here is where I left off yesterday afternoon.

kenm78 · 01-02-2007, 12:16 PM

No I donated that thing to my old Vo-Tech.

kenm78 · 01-02-2007, 01:11 PM

Once I sandblast my frame should I just spray paint it black or put some sort of coating on it?????

BigSky71 · 01-02-2007, 02:02 PM

You could apply POR15 if you wanted more protection than just paint. POR15 does need to be topcoated though because it is not UV stable. Not that your frame should see the sun too much, but with POR15 on it and then black paint it will look great.

kenm78 · 01-02-2007, 02:04 PM

Were can I get that POR15 from, and were can I read up about it?

por 15 has it's own website. There is a forum discussion herehttp://www.airstreamforums.com/forum...ing-27112.html
it is about trailer frames but it good and has a link to por15.com I used it on some small applications, didn't seem to difficult, there are a few steps involved.

Looks like your off to a good start.

They want you to buy all their prep products but I don't think its necessary. For parts I intend to use POR15 on I powerwash them to remove the dirt and grease, then I etch the metal with a phosphouros acid type solution [you can buy many kinds, I prefer KleanStrip Brand from Home Depot, $14 a gallon in the paint department], then wash with water to clean of the acid, dry thoroughly, then apply POR15 with a foam brush. Its very "self leveling", any brush marks you make go away before its dry. Then paint over that with your favorite paint.

Well off to work catch you all later...

If you use POR 15 that stuff is volitile so make sure you have a good resparator. Otherwise

what they said. Eastwood co also makes a good rust encapsulator and you won't have to paint over.

I am not sure of its durability and how long it lasts though. I never used it.
