    What paint for frame ,and can a novice panit it?

     



    I have a truck frame that will be sandblasted. I think I can paint it myself ,but don't know what paint to use. I am thinking a flat black,but need something very durable.Can someone also take me through the process of frame and paint prep.Thanks for any help.

    If you are just looking for an easy-to-spray coating, and the frame doesn't need to be a "showpiece", I would use SEM trim black. It requires no primer, and I've used it for just about everything.

    PPG make a chassis black paint that doesn't need to be reduced, or have any additives. Drys Quick and looks great.

    frame paint

     



    I totally agree with 2 many. Ive used the Hammerite rust cap gloss black on my frame. Nothing beats it but powder coating!
    You can buy it at Home Depot or on line. About $ 44.00 a gal.
    Spray it on or brush it.
