Re: What should I paint my Frame?

I used por 15 and I loved the way it came out. I ended up spraying it unreduced. It flows great just make sure you use a respirator! I used about a quart to do just the frame. It has a rock hard finish almost like ceramic. they make different finishes too.

I like Eastwood's Rust Encapsulator. Great stuff.

por 15 actually likes rust so dont do to much grinding on frame cause it dont like real clean metal. but you still need to paint over it is what the can says.but metal has to be clean of contaminents
