Restoring Frame 69 C10 Short
 
I'm getting my frame sandblasted in the next couple weeks and I will be painting myself afterwards. What do yall recommend to get it ready for paint and once its ready is anybody partial to any kind of paint or primer. I definitely want to frame to look good and last.

Does that Enamel paint from an Agri Supply or Tractor supply work ok....paint they use for farm equipment. That seems to be pretty thick paint. What are yalls thoughts??

Does it go directly over the bare metal once its been sandblasted or should I spray a coat or 2 of primer on it?

I cant speak of the TSC paints or the Blitz black, but I got Eastwood Extreme Chassis black and used Epoxy primer under it. I sandblasted to bare metal, epoxied, and then the Extreme Chassis Black.

I used POR 15 and top coated it with Eastwood Extreme Chassis Black and am extremely happy with how it turned out. If i wasn't going to blast it i probably wouldn't have used the POR 15, but with a blasted surface the stuff is as tough as nails. I waited until the POR 15 was just slightly tacky and then top coated it that way i didn't have to use the POR 15 etch primer.
