Re: My 73 c10 project.....
ok so here we go again i feel like a damn crab going backwards lol.... i got my tierod ends all put together i used the same sleeve since there is nothing wrong it and i started to paint the frame inside the engine compartment and the Xmember but because all the damn oil and grease that xmember had and because the frame and xmember are gonna be diff colors there was no way to paint it without making a mess and i know i wouldnt be happy with the results so i decide it to take the Xmember off and all the steering parts this is gonna set me back a little bit

Re: My 73 c10 project.....
yes is Rust-oleum $10 a quart with one quart you can do all your suspension parts and still have half of the quart left.... the can says black but once is applied is like dark gray....

Re: My 73 c10 project.....
i been using it for years i never applied primer before using it but im sure it will help if you do.... as far as the durability im sure is better than just spraying it with a cheap rattle can but im also sure is not as good as P.O.R 15 since rustoleum is cheaper...
