1951 Mack LJ Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I have used industrial enamel sold from Cloverdale Paint which is now called Rodda Paint. Cost about $35-40 a gallon. Not a show truck finish but very tough and reasonably priced. Sales guy told me it was self priming and has rust inhibitors in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felicello122 Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 The por 15 is that good for a crusty and rusty frame, after wire wheeling it of course? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 220cummins Posted April 28, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 28, 2014 If sandblasted, epoxy primer and PPG aue-300 or ALK-200, or chassis saver direct to sandblast metal and top coat with aue or alk. If wire wheeling and pressure washing with crust and rust spots left, chassis saver and top coat with aue or alk. Chassis saver works best on a rough surface and is comparable to POR-15 or any other rust "encapsulator" but like the others (POR-15 etc) doesn't have the UV resistance and will eventually get chalk white and fade. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 What a tough call here. I feel any name brand paint is good but, many factors exist. Are you wanting a rattle can type paint or a spray gun type paint? I use both. When you are in tight areas it is better to use a rattle can to keep down the overspray. mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1957B61Vt Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 I should have saidI have it striped down engine out cab off wheels off.Going to sand blast it .Epoxy prime it Repaint it. With spray gunThanks for the info I am looking into the options you guys are suggesting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
220cummins Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Epoxy primer the raw sandblasted metal then top coat with AUE-300 Black Polyurethane (Gloss) or ALK-200 Acrylic Modified Alkyd Enamel. Use a gravity feed spray gun with 1.5-1.8mm tip about 20-30 psi cap pressure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1957B61Vt Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 I will look into who sells PPG in my area I don't know if anyone does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lsubler Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 Agree with the POR 15. It will actually trap the rust. Expensive when you compare it to other paints, but its WELL worth the few dollars extra. A little goes a LONG way. Great stuff but do put something on it as it will fade when expossed.

TozziWelding Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Last thing I used it on was a dam gate for a small hydro plant, 5 years in water and it is holding up as good as the galvy, only used this because the piece was to big to dip. I am doing the frame on my F600 with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
