It cures in the presence of humidity, is very hard and forms a tight bond to bare metal. Later on, I smoothed out the tops of the frame rails that are exposed in the engine bay then primered over the filler. When I spot finished them with the Chassis Black, it acted much more like conventional paint. Not nearly as slick and hard as directly over the metal.

I outsourced the frame painting to the company that sandblasted it. They did a pretty good job, however there were a few rough spots where it looks like dust settled on it. All those places will be hidden from view so I decided to let sleeping dogs lie.
