Frame Paint -- Part 2

Here are some more pix of the finished product, after letting the KOR15 dry overnight:











And the trailer hitch receiver, as long as I was at it:



The stuff still won't come off of ME, so I hope it's on the truck forever, too.

My buddy just got the KBS paint for his 69 ford truck. he said it has to be 50-80 degrees. When did you do yours? Did you sand her down really good? Thanks

ya they have some specific instructions, it has to be between 50-80 degrees, the humidity must be below a certain percent and your not suppose to put the paint on thick, they recommend 2 light coats. I did my last fall when it was probably 55-60 degrees and i sand blasted the frame down to bare metal and prepped it then painted it

Ok my old 79 truck frame has alot of indentions in the frame and i cant get the rust out. Probably need to use a wire wheel more than i did. If i clean them up a little will it still be alright to paint over?

as long as you get it pretty clean then scuff it up with some sandpaper you should be able to paint over it, what paint are you using? Look at POR-15 and KBS coatings they all have instructions for painting right over rust, so a few spots here and there shouldn't hurt

POR 15.. Did you use their self etching primer stuff? If not, and your frame wasn't totally covered in rust, It might not stick. That stuff is great, but it really needs something to hold on to.

I personally use satin black rustoleum. https://www.f150online.com/forums/4345801-post8.html
