Well, I'm finally ready to start the long climb back up in my restoration.
Everything is removed from the frame, the frame has been pressure washed
several times, and is now ready to go to the sand blaster. I'd appreciate
some opinions from the group on my various painting options. Some background
first. I intend to restore my truck to near original condition and use it as
a daily driver, not a show truck. I have decent mechanical skills, but have
never done any painting. As I see it, my options are:
1) Buy aerosol cans of chassis spray paint from either Hirsch or Eastwood
and spray the frame myself that way. Does anyone have experience with either
of these two products and any comments on their use for my frame?
2) Find a professional and have him (or her) paint it for me with standard
PPG or DuPont epoxy paint.
3) Buy spray paint equipment and the paint and learn to do it myself. If I
go this route, will I have to build some type of spray booth or can I do the
painting outside?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, TIA.
