That was the masterseries rust sealer primer, then I did the glossy topcoat... That primer is very very tough... www.nomorerust.com

mine's not UV stable either but for a frame they said it would be fine... I just try to avoid leaving it all day exposed...

If it turns out looking like sack, I'll just throw some more black on it and call it good to go but I'm willing to give it a shot to find out.

I would have been in the NOT catagory. Glad you changed your mind.

68,69 K20 · 11-29-2008, 05:36 PM

I like it Kurt, came out looking pretty good

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-29-2008, 05:56 PM

Looks good for sure...

Big J · 11-29-2008, 06:06 PM

Its good to be different. Thumbs up on the orange. What color are the leafs and axles gonna be?

vtblazer · 11-29-2008, 06:34 PM

Just walked through the garage to get some more wood, turned on the lights and I was like

dayum, what did I just do.

Leafs will be black, probably the axles too.

I'm thinking the orange will tone down a lot as parts get installed.

That's what I was thinking too. I think it will look cool.

Jtrux · 11-29-2008, 08:53 PM

Very cool, I wonder how a satin orange would look.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 11-30-2008, 03:58 PM

Bummer I liked the orange..= (

**71blksuper4x4** · 11-30-2008, 04:13 PM

Kurt, three more questions,
1: Whose ORD shackle flip is that, that is on the frame now?
2: Is that the 4" Shackle flip for DIY?
3: Can you look at our homemade shackle flip that is on my build thread for "The Bluedress" Our frame is about to go to powdercoat and I don't want to have any problems later down the line. I believe my dad might have made it drop down too far. Thanks bud.

1) stole it from the guy I got the frame from, gotta send it back when I install my own.
2) comes w/4.5" shackles
3) sure
