Painting frame
So what paints did you all use for your frames if you did not get them done by a profesional. I don't really want to use spray paint, and i have been thinking about rust bullet, what else has been done?

Re: Painting frame
I haven't got around to my truck yet, but my other cars I used a paint by Rustoleum called "Hammered" finish.
It works really well, great adhension, looks good and very strong. it also comes in a variety of colors.

Eastwood Chassis Black, I've used it on a couple in the last 15 years and it holds up really well.

Re: Painting frame
I used por15 and it looks great. it was like 120 for a gallon but it goes a loooong way. I think if i was to do it again i would have bought 2 quarts instead. Sprayed it straight through a cheap gun. I did my control arms with chassis saver. here are the pics...sorry the garage is a stye redoin the kitchen at the same time. the first pic it is covered in saw dust

Re: Painting frame
I, used KBS rust seal, i have also used rust bullet, which i think is the same type of paint, but KBS is cheaper. I sandblasted the frame,the web site says this provides the best surface for the paint.
