about to order my paint for frame/suspension

[menace121978]

hey! well i have been sandblasting parts for 2 days now and i'm about ready to order my paint for the frame, A arms, suspension, ect... there's 3 that i have been looking at: por-15, kbs coatings, and chassis saver. which have you tryed and had good long lasting results with? i have heard great things about all 3. i am just looking for something that will persuade me to hit the "add to cart" button.

i plan to go over everything w/ a top coat enamal afterwards. my orginal plan was to have the frame powdercoated but after researching i dropped that idea and im left w/ painting. which one???

oh yea, i know how much everyone love pics (i know i do), but i'm pretty tuckered out and i'm going to start a build thread soon. thanks, Dennis

Look at my build thread to see what the Eastwood Chassis black looks like... I like it.

Dennis i would go with the Eastwood stuff. I haven`t used either product but from what I`ve seen I like the way the Eastwood looks and it seems pretty durable.

thanks for the responses guys. i've been searching for the last few hours. pages and pages of reading on this stuff. i'm going to look into the eastwood stuff. i just dont have a spray gun...

you can get a nice cheap hvlp gun from harbor freight for $50 or less. I think they have a brush on too and rattle can

[smashingchuck]

Yeah I just used a cheap one and I think it turned out real nice... way better than the brushed on POR 15 I had before.

I used por 15 and it served its purpose for a daily driver. It hasnt been tested but it definatly looks better than it did.

I personally think por-15 is over-rated. I have used it, friends have used it...none of us were really impressed. Now their engine paint systems kick tail, but that is different.

I would either use Eastwood or similar air gun applied products...or powdercoat.

[menace121978]

alright!! eastwood it is. thank you... chuck, i just read through your build thread. after i read that you had used por and are doing another rebuild to fix certain things and make better and the por to eastwood was one of them i made up my mind. by the way awesome build!! thank you guys!!

i'm just a little nervous about painting w/ an actual spray gun. anthony, i'm gonna try the harbor freight gun just to start with and see how it goes.

[68c10owner]

Dennis, I`ve got one from harbor freight and it works great.

few things...

The east wood extreame chassie black comes pre thinned from them and can be sprayed right outta the can.

I just ordered there rust encapsulater and am very impessed with it so fa. It is more like a Por 15 product but can be used on bare metal and under over fillers. I applied it with a foam brush and it layed down real well when dry. It self leveled alot better then I though t it would when it was wet. I am very impressed so far but will see how it holds up to the rust.......
