Pitted areas...what pitted areas? :D

This frame had been sand blasted to bare metal then it was mothballed in the basement, all it had on it was flash over rust, Scotch Brite took it right off and left a great base for the POR to adhere to.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

I like shiny... although it show dirt to easily

that's looking good...

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Make sure you guys top coat the por because it does not like uv light and turns a milky grey color.. Ask me how I know..

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Yeah, I've heard that but will it turn if it doesn't get direct sunlight?
Is the UV enough to mess it up even under the body?

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Whatever area that will see sunlight will eventually deteriorate and flake off. Nasty stuff after all that cost and work. When I por15ed my frame I painted over the por with rustoleum gloss black, while the por was still wet/tacky. Just as solid and no worries about it going to crap. Still looks as good as the day I did it, well almost, gotta wash it:lol: You can check out some pics in the first couple pages of my thread and skip to the last few to see its current condition.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

ya stained your NEW floor!!!

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

never topcoated a frame and it doesnt flake off.... I doesnt see direct sun unless i was to roll it...and if that happened the thing would be junk anyhow..

I prefer the flatish surface anyhow.. the last one i did I shot the whole sucker with Cosmoline... its just like factory fresh with that nice sticky gooey film

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Well, that's good news, now you can topcoat it in a satin finish like ya wanted...signed Pinky

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

What's one more step at this point, right?

It does give me an idea however...:hmm:

Not so worried about it, it'll wear off. :sexy:

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

You really like that silver color, don't ya?

I kinda liked it to but not enough to leave it that way. I ordered another quart of black top coat because I ran out.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

I did silver too...what a coincidence

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Well, ya wanted grey and ya wanted satin, now ya can have both. Your a lucky man! Gee, I wonder how many more steps ya have:lol:

I am so envious of you four, mine is just plane ol' brushed on undercoat...someday, maybe...naah

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

You get a chance to see more detail with it being a lighter color but maybe that's not a good thing...dunno.


Was that your primer?
Did ya use the same system as chevyman63 did?

Or did you change your mind and decide ya liked it black better?

Exactly what I need right now, more decision making to be done. :uhmk:

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

That was the masterseries rust sealer primer, then I did the glossy topcoat... That primer is very very tough... www.nomorerust.com

mine's not UV stable either but for a frame they said it would be fine... I just try to avoid leaving it all day exposed...

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

...'scues the momemt of insanity here but when I was at the parts store looking for and checking out paint, I spied some chevy orange paint and bought a couple cans. :exit:

Whatcha think? :help:


(flame suit on :lol:)

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Think about what?

You know we gotta have pictures (we can't read ya know) :lol:

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Imma thinkin orange frame....

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

WHAT!!! ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?!

ORANGE FRAME!?!?!



That might be kinda cool? Why don't you paint it so we can see it and then make the call. :lol:

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

...since you asked. :devil:

Came up with a plan I think I'll like, gotta get a couple more cans of paint but you get the idea.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

well, its orange...

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

hahahahahahahhahhahaha..

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

If it turns out looking like sack, I'll just throw some more black on it and call it good to go but I'm willing to give it a shot to find out.

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

Kurt ya cant just throw the black on top of the orange cause when ever it chips itll be orange. I personally think it will look killer orange..

Re: Building a Blazer - vtblazer's Way
 

I'm with ya Charlie Brown. :dig:
