Re: frame paint ?

Blast it and if the weather holds epoxy it but rather than putting two coats of this and two coats of that order this from Amazon: http://www.kilz.com/hammerite/v/inde...008a05d103RCRD it comes in many colors but the real reason to use it isn't printed on the label anymore. It contains ground glass and aluminum and once fully cured is a very tough industrial enamel. Rustoleum is a fish oil based product and can only be coated with other Rusto products. I have been using Hammerite for well over 15 years in both the fence business [where it was subjected to saltwater mist] and the car business painting all suspension part. If there is any rust it traps it in place and seals it away. Its so tough that on a budget I painted a whole truck with it, let dry, sanded it and cleared it. You can't even tell its not automotive grade paint.

Big Dan did you use the smooth or the hammered finish? In the smooth they don't have a semi gloss black, just a gloss & flat. I spose I could mix both for semi
