Suspension parts paint - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

DanoDMano · 01-28-2004, 02:02 AM

What would you guy's recommend I use to paint my suspension parts on my disk brake setup? I plan on painting the tie rods,spindles, and linkage parts.
I want them black, but want it to last. I have already sandblasted them and will be ready to paint soon.

Thanks!!

Dan

por 15 chassis black

DanoDMano · 01-28-2004, 03:11 AM

can a guy pick up the por-15 at a local paint or hardware store??

Sweet72 · 01-28-2004, 04:14 AM

Eastwoods chassis black. Tough as nails when fully cured, and no isocinates like Por-15. Epoxy hardened too.

no, you cant get por-15 just anywhere. go to thier website and find a dealer near you.www.por-15.com

If cost is an issue (like it is for me), GM reconditioning paint. $35 per gallon at your dealer (they may have it in spray bomb too) No mixing, shoot on bare metal. Nice satin finish.

I would epoxy prime it if you want it to last. Then top coat it with any auto paint that's not a spray bomb.

WOW !!.. i never knew Por-15 was 140 dollars a gallon

Find someone who is a vendor of POR and become his friend. You'd be amazed at the mark up on that stuff.

I paid $60 for a quart of POR-15. It costs a bit but plenty worth it

CG · 01-29-2004, 01:09 AM

i used hammerite. with a well prepped frame like you have it should work great

You don't need POR-15,POR-15 is for anti-rust applications like body panels.Unless your building a show truck,use Home Depot
paint or "Eastwood's" frame or chassis paint.
