What paint did you decide to use?

STOCKISH · 05-16-2010, 08:30 PM

I used the PM Industries before on another truck with good results os I went with it again. You can find their stuff at www.nomorerust.com Very good stuff. Thanks Dennis, hopefully it'll be half as nice as yours is looking.

How much of this and which products would you recommend for a frame and suspension parts? Looks like pretty good stuff. Can you brush it on or do I need to spray it? Thanks man.

STOCKISH · 05-17-2010, 08:16 PM

I used 2 quarts of the chassis black topcoat on the last one. Turned out great. Just brush it on with a quality brush and it levels out so nice it looks powdercoated.

ccreddell · 05-17-2010, 02:37 AM

Wow! With it at that point, you should throw a Dropmember in it!

STOCKISH · 05-17-2010, 07:58 AM

Naah, I like the way they look with the dropmember but it's not for me. The roads suck so bad around here I would tear the truck to pieces if it was that low.

VA72C10 · 05-17-2010, 11:59 AM

Hey, you're doing it RIGHT! Going to be awesome!

STOCKISH · 05-17-2010, 01:09 PM

Thanks man. Hopefully it'll turn out as nice as the last chassis I did that you got from Mike.

JohnC · 05-17-2010, 02:37 PM

I was like

when I saw it on the trailer. I just know it will look

when it's done.

Driveway Dreams · 05-17-2010, 11:11 PM

I knew this would happen! You have lost it Josh. What is it?...I don't know, but it's gone now.

mcbassin · 05-18-2010, 01:02 AM

Hard to imagine taking apart a truck that nice. But hey, you gotta do what you gotta do. Keep at it! It's gonna be awesome!

STOCKISH · 05-18-2010, 08:46 AM

I know, I know. But I just couldnt deal with that rusty chassis. It will be back together before you know it. I hope......

It already looked great, but it's going to look amazing now with this extra effort. You and Dennis are doing it Right!

STOCKISH · 05-18-2010, 10:23 AM

Thats right, but imagine how nice they'll be once they're finished.

STOCKISH · 05-20-2010, 03:45 PM

Picked up the chassis and control arms today. Also got new Moog upper and lower ball joints, inner and outer tie rod ends and both side adjuster sleeves so I can hopefully get it all painted and assembled this weekend!

menace121978 · 05-20-2010, 04:08 PM

STOCKISH · 05-20-2010, 06:54 PM

Ooops, Sorry John, I mean Dennis!

baclay9 · 05-21-2010, 05:25 PM

I had one more question about the frame paint. Do I need to prime the sand blasted frame before painting it with the stuff you recommended or do I just paint it on the bare metal. Sorry to bug you but I only want to have to do this once.LOL
