POR 15. Depending on the color, the number changes. I think
15 is black. Gray is something else, maybe 10. Spray or
brush on. I've used Rustoleum as the touchup rattle spray
cans are perfectly matched to the quart cans, and you can get
it just about anywhere. POR products might be a little more
durable than Rustoleum. If the frame is bare metal, an epoxy
primer is a good start, but with POR I "think" you can skip
the primer. </span> </div>

<div dir="ltr"> Hi All. <br clear="none">
<div> It's been a long time since I've painted a frame and
I'm just wondering what the latest / greatest thing to use
is for a race car frame ? It's already sand blasted if that
matters.. </div>
<div> Thanks. P.J. </div>
