crazy frame colors
I am thinking about what color to paint my truck frame. I want to do something different like white, yellow, red, green etc. I don't care if it matches the truck I just want something different. I may have access to a sand blaster so I could prep the frame, however I don't have anything to spray the frame with. Does stuff like POR-15 (i think that is what it is called) come in different colors? How do you think spray paint out of a can would hold up, if so, what brand? Are there any other types of paint that could go on a frame without a sprayer and still hold up well?
Also, what colors do you guys think would look cool or different? thanks for any input brad |

depends on the color of your truck but i have always liked orange or blue, with lots of chrome

A dark blue, dark green or some other dark color would be cool. You would be able to see it but only if you look really close. You would drive by and people would have to take a second look. To see if it is black or not.

i used some gloss black frame paint i got at napa,i know they had different colors.i always paint frames black for the reason being i never keep them that long,and its easyier selling a truck/bike car that has a nuetral color frame.if you were to paint it yellow and decided to sell it ,you just narrowed the market down.but if you are one to hold on the trucks for a very long time ,i would go crazy on your paint choice,but thats just my 2cents
