I'm about done with my frame and will need to coat it with something.
I've got a pressurized blaster that will do a good job of removing all
the old paint and getting it prepped if I paint it. If I powder coat it
all I have to do is write a check but it'll cost more. I'm leaning
towards painting it. It was painted with Eastwood Chassis Black over
their rust preventative but I didn't like it because you could not
recoat it without the paint lifting. They've got a new formula that
doesn't have this problem. Also I used aerosol cans last time and I
think I'll use foam brushes and rollers if I paint it myself.
Questions:
Should I paint it for ($100) or powder coat it (single coat probably
$300)?
If I paint it myself should I use normal chassis black paint, POR-15 or
the new stuff from Eastwood? If so should I use something else for
primer?
