Final Frame Paint Plan, Input Please
TEAM:
I would like to try Rustoleum for my frame paint and will be brushing on all paints. Please take into consideration this will be a DD and also trying to stay on budget. Here is my plan: FRAME PREP I have nearly bare metal from the firewall forward, with a few places of light surface rust (example of frame condition): PRIMER PLAN I plan on using this Rustoleum product for a primer: http://www.rustoleum.com/product-cat...l-primer-spray TOP COAT PLAN For the top coat I am planning on this Rustoleum product: http://www.rustoleum.com/en/product-...tective-enamel Question: I want to use a hardener to assist the top coat in curing and also add to its durability; does hardener do that? If so, can I add hardener and brush the top coat on? What are your overall thoughts of this plan? Mahalo

Re: Final Frame Paint Plan, Input Please
I would highly recommend adding hardner to Rustoleum. It will make dry time to handle, drop from from a week, to a few hours. It also makes it much more durable. Spraying would be the best way to apply, but brushing will work in a pinch.

Are all hardeners created equal? Or should I stick to a certain brand? I have never used hardener in a paint before.

Re: Final Frame Paint Plan, Input Please
I like Rustoleum Satin black for brackets, pulleys, inner fenders,etc. My local TSC store has their brand, but I haven't tried it to compare how it looks. They have "Matte Black" which I don't know if it looks like satin, or flat. I buy their hardner, and use it in the Rustoleum. I think it is about $14 for a 1/2 pint.

Re: Final Frame Paint Plan, Input Please
with any paint it is a good idea to use their material all the way through the job.

Re: Final Frame Paint Plan, Input Please
I don't remember the name. Seems like it was a green label.

Re: Final Frame Paint Plan, Input Please
I contact a firm in Eastern Oregon "Baretto MFG" quoted me $25.00 a wheel to blast and power coat, and only $50.00 to blast my 71 LWB K-10 frame . Sounds like a better deal then some of you guy's get ?

That is absolutely a good deal to get a frame blasted. Non of us would wire wheel the frame at a cost like that.
