red13 Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 What did you use on the frame? I used a wirebrush grinding wheel to clean the rust. Then 91% alcohol to wipe down and insure it was clean then 2 coats of primer for now. Ill get some undercoat stuff when I am done. 2 Quote Link to comment

Kinda stuck on what to use on bare metal ...did some research and they say "epoxy primer" seals the metal, but it can only get mixed up at a paint store, no rattle can epoxy primer 1 Quote Link to comment
ownTer Posted February 26, 2015 Report Share Posted February 26, 2015 If there is any boating places around. Stop in and ask if they have any 302. Its a 2 part epoxy paint we use on ships and what not. Good stuff for sure. 2 Quote Link to comment

So yes, you can get it in a spray can. It's probably a one time use thing though. 1 Quote Link to comment
Hrvat9 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Sweet! Thanks draker and ownTer , on to the next paint/ boating store ! 1 Quote Link to comment
krayziemike001 Posted February 28, 2015 Report Share Posted February 28, 2015 Sweet! Thanks draker and ownTer , on to the next paint/ boating store !You don't really need epoxy primer.Etch primer and then your topcoat is fine. And I believe you can get chassis paints that are designed to be sprayed over bare steel. (I'm a panelbeater/painter) 1 Quote Link to comment
