Frame painting advice ... Bare metal???

[BarryV]

Hi Guys,

How close to bare metal does a frame need to be to avoid recurring rust issues? I am looking for general advice.

This car is going to be a driver, so perfection is not necessary. However I am balancing that with my son's desire (and initiative) to get his frame painted.

Product advice? Lets say we want "very little visible rust in 10 years". Is POR 15 the way to go? I would be nervous trying to so that in my driveway.

Take a look at the pictures and let me know!

Thanks,

Barry
