On this one we used POR15 encapsulator followed by etch primer and their chassis black top coat. Looking back now we should have just bit the bullet and sent the frame to be powder coated. With materials and labor it would have been cheaper and probably would have had superior durability, but this way it was all done in the barn by my dad and I which is more satisfying.
