Frame Cleanup
Here in the next month or so I'm going to start tearing apart the truck. I plan on sandblasting and painting many of the frame/suspension pieces. I want a smooth satin black finish on everything. What would you guys recommend? I really like the finish on slammed67's frame. What did you use jay?

If I had my choice, I would go with powder coating. My best bud used to own a powdercoating company and he used to do it for me for free. Well, he retired and the deal is gone..I don't get frames powdercoated any longer. It runs about $1,000. Now I paint with base clear urethane with black k-36 primer.

alot of the guys on the board use POR15.... and i have never done an entire frame in it, but i did use it on a really rusty set of taillights for my stepside. i've been really happy with the seal and finish.... i didnt even have to top coat it with paint - got a nice satin gloss...
you might try a test coat on a piece of scrap, and see how the finish looks to you, cause once you put the stuff on, it aint comin off... you can buy it in really really small cans to test it out.... use a throw away brush, because you cant clean out the brush afterwards.... (i used a throw-away sponge brush).... plan on throwing out the can of POR15 after use because it will be so hardened that you cannot use the same can again... (thats why they sell it in such small cans)... hope that helps!  jewels.
