Frame paint

William Cunningham
 

As the machine work has been completed on my F4-134 and total engine
rebuild (by me) is looming on the horizon I need to think about the
frame and running gear.
Here in Wyoming rust is not a big issue but with a bare frame sitting in
the yard perhaps I should do something to insure it lasts another 40+
years. I see adds for POR 15, Miracle Paint #1 Rust Killer, and frame
paint just to mention a few. Are there any recomended/tried and true
frame paints? I would rather not sand blast because the rust is surface
only and I have plenty of work to keep a lazy guy like me busy all
summer.
And how about that Super Gas Tank Sealer from Bill Hirsh? (for my gas
tank)

I used the gas sealer intially and it worked alright, be sure to realy
clean and etch the tank 1st. However JC Whitney has new tanks for not
much more $...so last year I just replaced the tank.

I just used POR-15 on my frame this spring. I got a decent degreaser,
gave it a few good washes, scraped and wire brushed to get any loose
rust and pealing paint off, then used the POR-15 kit (acid etch, por-15,
tie-coat primer). I am happy with the results but can't testify as
to the long haul with it. They claim to be the most permanent thing
on the planet, and it looks good too.
