Frame/Axle painting start - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BIG82 · 07-26-2005, 02:11 PM

I got the first part of my frame/axle painted and I think it turned out well. I used the Eastwood rust encapsulator and chassiss black. It seems to me that it is going to work great. I used spray in bedliner about a year ago and that was a terrible idea. What didn't crack off I had to scrape off and wire wheel all of this but I think it will be worth it. Has anyone else used this stuff?

First I scraped off what I could with a putty knife. Then I soaked old rags in paint thinner and wiped it down. What that didn't get I wire wheeled. Then I sanded and wiped it down with thinner again. I brushed the rust encapsulator on. You have to make sure you get everything off the frame before putting on the rust enc. You will really be able to tell if you don't and then you will have to wait till it dries so you can sand it and so it over. Hope this helps. I started the second part of my frame last night. I am going from the front cab mount to the front rear spring hanger. Let me know how yours goes
