I've asked this question before, but now with a bit more information on my frame I ask again.
As I've been welding, grinding, and cutting up my frame, it's damn solid, save for that one area I patched. No holes, rust, barely even any pitting in the areas that have it. The majority of the frame (about 95%) is smooth metal, and from what I've read por15 doesn't like smooth clean metal.
SO, the question is, what paints do you guys use, how did you prep, and how are they holding up?
I have 2 cans of por15 I bought two years ago (idk if they're even good anymore), and everything I've read says por15 needs to be painted directly over rusty metal, or you have to use that metal prep stuff before hand.
To be honest, I myself would be content with just etch priming it and spraying it with VHT satin chassis/rollbar/suspension paint and dousing it in clear. Got the GM factry type sheen to it.
But if there is a better way to go about it, let me hear it.
