Once the axle was in we FINALLY painted the frame. We are limited in space in the garage so painting the frame with a spray gun was not an option. So we rolled/brushed the paint onto the frame.
First we painted rust encapsulator (from eastwood) and that took all day to paint on and let dry. Next we painted on chassis black which said it was satin, but when we rolled it on and let dry, turned out to look more of a gloss black than satin.
After we let the paint dry we installed all of the brake and gas lines. We also installed all of the exhaust, the trailer hitch, and gas tank.
