Frame Paint Advise - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I had my 4x4 frame sandblasted and powder coated for approx $250 in CO. I used POR 15 on everything thing else....inner fender, firewall, axles, etc. I like both. The one thing that I see as a disadvantage to powder coating, is touching up. When powder coating, try to think of every possible detail so you don't have to sand off and try to touch up. Paint is difficult to match. POR 15 is difficult to remove from you, or other items that it wasn't intended for. Powder coating comes in hundreds of colors! I would buy two quarts to paint a frame to be safe. My two cents
