Popular Post Willie dog Posted November 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted November 18, 2016 Got the frame back from the blasters, got it all primed and sanded. Forgot to take any pictures of that but.... Assembled a few larger components to make it easier to paint. Now the ole tanker frame is wearing a new coat of Gulf blue. Now the fun part of installing more shiny new parts! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fxfymn Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Looks good. Not being critical, just curious; did you put any kind of sealer on the frame where the outer layer buckles away to keep water from getting in there? 1 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

I did......I used POR 15 in the seam to stop what rust still remained and then sealed the gap with automotive seam sealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have the original pump and counter/ticket printer that was in it from new. I am going to make it LOOK as if it is ready to start pumping at any moment. Even though it will never pump a drop of oil ever again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigben89 Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 Just asking your process since I'm just finishing up blasting a 41' International frame.. You blasted, washed/prepped frame, primed frame, then POR 15 the spots you needed to and applied paint? Any Clear? (frame doesn't need it but curious) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You blasted, washed/prepped frame, primed frame, then POR 15 the spots you needed to and applied paint? Any Clear? (frame doesn't need it but curious) All that is correct......just be sure to sand and re-prime any por-15 spots. I didn't use any clear. Just single stage acrylic enamel with a hardener. Oopps. Correction. I only used POR-15 down in the frame/fish plate seam. After blasting , all the rust everwhere else was gone so I didn't feel the need for it elsewhere. Good luck on your '41!

fxfymn Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 If you need a paint like Por-15 for your project you might check into using "Frame Saver" from Magnet Paints. I have used both and I do not see any difference between the two except frame saver is about half the cost. 1 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!
