I used Bill Hirsh miracle paint on my 74 frame. I really didn't care for
the result. Make sure you are down to a bare metal surface after
sandblasting and prep it with a good metal prep.
My experience was that it didn't stick to primed surfaces (this frame
was repaired by me and sat covered for two years and then spot
reblasted). The stuff is as thin as water, runs all over and is hard to
get good coverage. When your done it still looks like S@#% and you need
to spot spray with paint anyway.
I complained to Bill and after he said I was full of S@#% he sent me a
free quart to try again.
Good Luck
