MattKatz Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 I am in search of a good black frame paint. My frame isn't rusted but is a bit dull from some mileage. 2006 Chevy truck, 252K on it, just did a lift and now its a lot more noticeable, so I figured Id at least do the outside and the front suspension pieces. I know it has that damn GM wanna-be undercoating on it, so I'm not sure what to do with it. I don't want to get to labor intensive and it doesn't have to be perfect but it has to stay on the frame. I do actually hobby paint bikes and parts fairly regularly so spraying something out of a gun isn't an issue as I have a few, but even my paint supply house (Ohio Auto Kolor) isn't sure what to use. I know a lot of guys will say Por15 and then OAK suggested Chassis saver, both of which come in a flat and Satin I think, because I don't want anything gloss on the frame, I don't want it to stand out, I just want to clean it up. I'm not against using the Por15 or Chassis saver, but both are about $100/Gal and both say if used in direct sunlight they need top coated. I know the Frame isn't "Direct sunlight" but it could see a fair amount, especially now that its lifted, and I am sure its the UV that will alter the color of these without a topcoat. I'm up for suggestions here if someone has a reasonable solution. Talk to me guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TA In Progress Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 If your frame currently has the waxy coating on it, Eastwood sells something very similar that I have used on older GM products to touch up areas that were missing.
