Guy,

I had my 63 TR4 frame commercially sandblasted, then I brushed gloss black 
POR-15 on it.  Looks like a million dollars, and the paint is pretty-much 
bullet proof.  I accidentally dropped a hammer from about 3 feet onto the 
frame and it just bounced off (to my **immense** relief!).  It took two 
coats, which did take quite awhile to dry (humidity problem, me 
thinks).  It's so slick that other paint won't stick to it.
