Re: Trusty Rusty - 72 GMC LWB

I decided to go with the Master Coat Series paint for the frame. It takes a lot of steps to complete, but I think that it will be worth it. After cleaning the frame, the metal prep and rust remover is sprayed on the frame and then scrubbed with scotch brite until all of the rust is dissolved. Even after wire brushing, there was still some rust on the surface and this stuff neutralized it. Then the next step was to apply the first primer coat with the Permanent Rust Sealer. There is aluminum flake in it that helps to achieve an air barrier to the metal to prevent rust from starting again.

The kit came with one quart of primer and one quart of paint. But there was not enough primer for two coats We were only able to get one coat with a little leftover. It is recommended to spray the coatings and this worked pretty well with an old siphon paint sprayer. This should have extended the application since we were not brushing it on, but we still came up short. Once we got the gun set up, it seemed to lay the paint pretty good. We were happy with the results.

Once more primer gets here, we'll shoot a second coat and then move on to the final top coat of the AG111. This is a two part urethane that is supposed to be more durable than POR15 and KBS and is also UV stable.
