frame paint opinions

[jimmq]

I have a 72K20 with moderate to heavy rust on the frame. All of the heavy rust is behind the cab.. Im going to pull the bed to repair the wood so I would like to take care of this problem while I can. The truck is parked inside unless Im driving it or plowing snow in my driveway. This is not a show piece, I use it as a truck. I have used POR in the past for truck bodies but I am seeing what other products others have used.

I used POR 15 on my frame also but really if you remove surface rust and get down to some clean metal a coat of primer and paint should help protect the metal for years to come. Then you could even roll on some cheap diy bedliner stuff to help protect the paint.

I used the Eastwood chassis kit that includes a rust converter and a rust encapsulator that forms a durable primer for the top coat. I was very pleased with the results and was easy to work with.

Good luck with your project and keep us posted on the progress.

I. was cheap and I wanted to be able to touch it up easily. Used Rustoleum "Hammered". Good stuff for a frame, dollar for dollar

Rustoleum hammered is great i shot it through my gun with a 50/50 paint to thinner
