stev Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 There are some places with surface rust on the frame of the truck. I intended to sand the spot down, and apply some paint. Left to my own devices, I would probably just use a spray can of krylon. Is there a reason not to, or something substantially better to use?Thanx . . . .

single drive Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 A spray can will do the job for a short time, but will only last a few monthe before it peels off. If a long term repair is what you are lookin for i would use an epoxy primer then a good coat of paint.

cgallamore Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 i use rustolium, not in the spray can. you can get pnt, qrt, or gallon at home store. it is very sticy. if your gona spray t threw a gun you will need some paint thinner. i have put it on with a foam brush. if your not skilled with oil base paint it wouldnt hurt to practice a little first. just remember the less you brush it the better it looks. no more than two strokes, the brush marks will flow out as it dries.it will last a couple years.i used to paint my dayton wheels wih a foam brush, after you get the hang of it, it lasted a lot longer than spray and just as slick and shinny as a spray. gota wait 24 hrs if you need a second coat.

bobo Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Im with the duck, POR15 is awsome but does need top coating and is alittle pricey. bobo Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/19159-frame-paint-recommendations/#findComment-78503 Share on other sites More sharing options...
