Re: 70 GMC 4wd version

Totally agree here. I did the sandblast epoxy on a hard offroad wheelin Toyota that I had. After 6 years it still looks great. I used a 2 part product called endura.

If you expose any metal from underneath the powder paint rust will start and spread underneath the paint. Look at any snowplow frame, trailer hitch, etc. etc. Epoxy paint is what is use in tanks at water/sewage treatment plants and chemical plant tanks and pipes etc. Best your going to use and will last longer than anything I have used. Good luck.
