OK....FINALLY,after 4 days of nothing but grinding my welds down I have an almost finished frame.Made sure all of the rust was off too..( poor thing sat for so long until I could finish it..) and now I am wondering what kind of primer do I put on..?I have heard use a really good epoxy primer before paint...but with no paint booth I dont know if that will work..? Anyone..?:confused:
 
We paint them just like you would do with a car body. Epoxy primer and then topcoat with your favorite paint. I'm starting to like Imron more and more, but have also used urethane paint too with good results. I do the same process on engine blocks too and it holds up for years.

Painted my frame with rustoleum cuz it's cheap, like me:D...previously have mixed in some Martin Seinor gloss hardner and it worked well.
