TOPIC:

I have just finished hand sanding my entire frame. What are people using to prime and paint their frames?

I used Napa self etching primer followed by Duplicolor no sand primer. Then my color Used satin black. Turned out great.

Here is a link to older post that explains the paint I used a little better and has some pics as well.

I did my swingarm, sanded and used Rustoleum red primer, with Rustoleum Glossy black. It looks real nice.

Dupli Color Primer and their Silver wheel paint

I like Duplicolor Engine Enamel with Ceramic.

The self etching primer is the way to go and also a standard primer or a durable type.

PJ1 Gloss epoxy black gets used on all my restos. It is correct in gloss to stock frame paint.

When preping the frame for primer, what gade of sand paper should you go up to? I used 50 to get to where I'm at now.

50!? All I used was 150 Plumbers mesh sandpaper. all the dust falls through the mesh and it lasts awhile. didnt take no time at all to get to the metal, in the cracks and crevices I got to it with a wire wheel and the plumbers paper torn in narrower strips, worked well.

EDIT: If I ever do another one its getting bead blasted or sand blasted for sure.
