Frame Finishes: What are you using and why?
Okay guys, I've read tons and tons of posts about all the different types of refreshed frames and now I'm trying to determine the best avenue for my project, and yours.
So what are you guys finishing your frames up with and why? With the list of products available, the selection is tough to narrow down. From powdercoating, POR-15, paint, rattle can, and so many more, I'm curious which is the best overall finish. I know each project has it's own plan, (daily driver, show and go, drag,...) but I'm looking at a general thread where people can refer to other members experiences and help them decide on their own projects. Here's a few ideas I've picked up from previous posts: Powdercoat: tougher than paint, multiple color choices, still has the chance of being chipped and rusting out Paint: numerous color choices, chipable, but cheaper to repair than powder POR-15: cheaper than powder, comparable to paint, has the tendency to "milk" the color if visible to the sun (engine compartment, during the build process) Rattle Can: cheap, easy, but not for a 100% show vehicle Other: rhino lined, undercoating,..... I don't know much about these Post your experiences, cast your vote, and we'll see how this goes!
