Thanks Kim.

I have no doubt that a quality epoxy primer & automotive grade paint would be much better but for those of us on tight budgets this seems like an excellent compromise way to go.

Hi Dan - this doesn't look great, but I didn't clean it up either. A lot of that discoloration is dust, but you can see that there is very little surface rust coming back after all this time (1.5 years) exposed to the elements. The rusty chassis it's sitting on shows what you'd be looking for

I used the Hammer paint on my last dragster chassis. That stuff is tough. I'm going to do the frame and the firewall on my 51 chev pickup with it. Been keeping track of this build, amazing fab work.

Who? Me?

NO "fab" work on this thread, yet. A LOT of "cleaning up" but thanks for watching the thread.

Dan, I've used Rustoleum products on a lot of old trucks and always had good results with it. I don't consider it a compromise.
