Re: Painting the frame
I'd wire-wheel it again, just get fresh metal showing everywhere and then the oils in the under coating can soak into the metal pores.

Re: Painting the frame
Start with 180 grit sand paper and remove any and all non bonded paint.
Wash the frame with paint thinner and clean paper towels. Spary with primer 2-3 coats and let it cure. Using a fine scotch brite pad, lightly scuff the surface of the primer. Now you are ready to finish coat the frame. I have used Dupli-color truck bed coating on many projects with very good results. Follow the instructions for application. Very tough stuff!!! The product in rattle cans is the same stuff the pros use, just a different delivery system. |

Re: Painting the frame
I also really like the dupli color bedliner, very tuff and if you do chip it it is easy to touch up. It is what i used to paint my drop axle, kids wagon, 4 wheelers A-arms and so on with A+++ results. If you have a rust problem, more than surface, I really like the POR-15 epoxypaint-primer. A little more money but works very well with rusted metal.

Re: Painting the frame
I may need to use that for my limo frame because it is chewed up pretty bad. Thankfully there's no rust at all on my workhorse and I want to keep it that way.

Re: Painting the frame
I don't like the rubberized stuff because it doesn't stay rubberized forever. It gets dry and cracks and where it cracks water gets up in it and then gets trapped in there and still rusts the frame or whatever you're painting. Just my expierences with all rubberized stuff.
