It doesn't cost much more than rustoleum and should protect better. I can do the sandblasting and spraying here.<br><br>Surprisingly, seat frames have become pretty hard to track down. It took me a few months to find these and they weren't cheap. My main concern is to make sure they last, since in another 5 - 10 years they will be even harder to find if these rust out. I remember back when I was doing this 20 years ago, I could find complete parts cars for under $100 around here. I had 4 in my backyard at one point. Now people want $1000 for a stripped, rusted out rolling chassis. I wish I still had some of those parts cars. There were probably some good seat frames in there ;-)<br><br>Thanks again,</div><div><br></div><div>Robert</div><div><br></div></div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Sep 10, 2020 at 4:37 PM Mark J Bradakis via Spridgets <<a href="mailto:spridgets@autox.team.net">spridgets@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Back in the day when I was actively doing car stuff, PPG had an epoxy <br>
