I would like to freshen my frame up like he did I like that amount of gloss it looks like a factory sheen not too shiny. Any idea what product he might have used? know of anything that will get me that look? he hasn't told me what he uses he just said it's undercoat in a can.

Go up to the counter at O'Reillys and tell them you want a case of their cheapest undercoating in rattle cans. Viola.

weider1717 · 07-16-2012, 09:07 PM

well the problem with that is you're gonna get rubberized undercoating that isn't a factory look and finish. I guess instead of undercoat I needed to have said frame/chassis paint although that seller did say "undercoat" but if thats what he used I wouldn't want to go that route I don't want a rough finish on my frame I just want it factory fresh looking.

RandyP · 07-16-2012, 09:22 PM

The cheaper undercoating is not very thick and does not have "grit" to it.

Chassie black I have like 4 gal of it and it sprays on with a regular paint gun

On a side note, $17,300 and reserve not met?!?
I find it hard to believe, even for a 87k mile original truck, that it would get bid up to that, but more shocked that the reserve is higher???

weider1717 · 07-20-2012, 07:56 PM

I agree my truck is nicer with less miles and I bet it wouldn't bring that no ebay..my guess him and his brothers and neighbors were bidding that truck up.

Outlaw87 · 07-20-2012, 08:48 PM

Yeah, I believe there is something going on there. I've seen several trucks all original with less miles sell for about 9 to 12 G's. In all the years I've watched these trucks sell on eBay, I've yet to see one break 13,000. I'm not saying it hasn't happened, I just haven't seen it.

Thought I was on the Barrett-Jackson website for a second there

Use John Deere Blitz Black. Used it to paint my whole truck I love the semi gloss black look it has.
