Post by: tagordon on July 27, 2007, 09:26:10 PM

Looking at this to paint frame this winter.
Anyone know anything about it? So far it is my top choice.

Sorry, I haven't used that product, though the info on their website sounds promising.
I've used the POR chassis black paint with good results, but I don't know if they
ship the stuff internationally.

If you have a DuPont store nearby they have a very nice semi-gloss black in their Hot Hues line called "Hot Rod Black".  It is a two part paint and somewhat pricey but it looks very nice.

that stuff is alot like POR-15. it is used by the US Military to seal up the metal to keep from rusting. they did the testing at my base in japan because it is know as one of the toughest bases for climate caused rust. it used to cost alot less then POR-15 i dont know now but its good stuff. if you are going that far ever think about powder coating? i think it is really a better solution compared to paint.

I thought powdercoat would be much more expensive.
Personnally I ony want to stop rust. I like the character of an old original finish. If its not faded out. Any idea of the cost for a frame.
I love the powder coated exhausts & engine parts. Makes me think of Stealth or Darth or Hooligan. Know what I mean?
