Re: 1970 VA Longbed Project
I'll add for those planning to do this...It took three of the large cans of Stop Rust Primer and 7 cans of hammered paint. I laid the hammered paint on thick to create a more noticeable hammered pattern. Plus it will be nice and durable. Basically three coats of the hammered applied right after each other with extra coats in areas that didn't have as much texture as the rest.
I prepped the frame after grinding by first blowing it off with air. I used a brake bleeder air tool because the extension got into tight areas. Then I wiped the entire frame down inside, outside, top, and bottom with paint thinner. Finally, I went over it with a high powered air nozzle and made sure all the thinner had dried off and there was no more dust or dirt anywhere.
Proceeded to spray two light coats of the stop rust primer followed by three to four of the hammered black topcoat as mentioned.
