Best paint to use on a rusty frame - 9/20/2008 9:46:10 PM    Bad Ramer Jamer   Posts: 41 Joined: 9/11/2008 Status: offline I don''t have any rust on the body. But my frame looks like hell. I thought about using some good ol Rustolium. I don''t want to get into anything like P.O.R. What would you guy''s recomend. Also, what sheen. Gloss or flat. The truck is black, I would guess flat. What do you guy''s think. Thank''s. Post #: 1

But if that seems to be the way to go,,,Ill go with what the cool kids use. (in reply to WolfPack) Post #: 4

You could easily still get a socket/wrench on a bolt you needed, and you''d have no problem cranking it off. The only draw back is that heavy offroading (or poorly planned offroading in my case) seems to be pretty rough on the rubberized undercoating. Mine feels like a stiff corkboard to the touch, and can be scraped off relatively easily. But for the cost, its no problem to touch up scraped spots I find after washing off the mud and dirt. The more I think about it, some spray on bedliner might be a better choice for the long run...but that gets much more pricey. _____________________________ 2000 Blazer 4d LS 4x4 - 265/70/15 General Grabber AT2s - Hunter Brush Guard - Surco Roof Rack with IPF 868s - 1.5'' Shackle + Tbar - 2'' BL (in reply to Bad Ramer Jamer) Post #: 5
