Hey guys
I know there's quite a bit of info out there about painting/coating the frame, but I need you guy's opinion on something a little more specific. I have another build thread going HERE if you want to check that out.
Originally, I was going to freshen up the frame/suspension for the project. However, like anything else I do, that snowballed into a full on overhaul of the suspension and axles. I had already prepped, "undercoated", and painted the frame, but now that I have repaired a bunch of rust spots on the frame and cut off/welded on some new brackets I am almost ready to coat it. I really want to use a roll on product like POR-15, but I read they recommend that go over bare metal. Previously I used some Rust Converting primer and an aerosol undercoat which is still on 90% of the frame.
What do you guys think will happen if I roll the POR-15 over those coats I already laid down?
If I can't do the POR-15 over my current paint job do y'all have any suggestions on a good roll on coating that will stand the test of time? I really don't want to grind down the whole frame just to redo it!
Here's a shot of the frame after I painted/undercoated it:
