POR-15

I have run a ton of water through my frame before, but you will never get it completely clean.  Just accept that mud trapped there will turn to dirt trapped there and then that will add weight.

Yeah like Clark i would put the hose to it and try to flush it out.... maybe park nose up on a hill and then nose down...  with as much volume of water as you can.  Unless it has been in the road salt in the northern winters it should last you a very long time.

And you're going to want to do a few mud holes an creek crossings with us in a couple of years and its going to get in there then too.

I have used the Por15 on my Chevelle and Camaro. Personally, I think it is amazing, but prep is the major key. As Tony said the marine clean isn't all that but the metal prep is key. It's an acidic base that will etch the metal for adhesion. The prep stops rust and the paint completely seals the rust from the air which prevents it from rusting further. If your not contending with a rusted out frame not, save some coin and do the rattle can.

Here is a tip, for easy masking of your body mounts and brake lines, use tin foil. it allows you to wrap the part and no tape is needed. It is also good for odd shaped parts and conforms to any shape.

X2 on the foil. I used it to paint the inside parts of my old cage.

Great idea, thanks

I found a product called KBS Paints and it looks pretty good. It is half the cost of POR15 and I have not heard any complaints about it. I may give that a try.

How much is a quart of the KBS vs Por15?

I was looking at the whole kit that includes everything, but kbs is $10 cheaper than por15


From what it sounds like, not many people coat there frames with anything.

$10 is a drop in the bucket when comparing a no name paint vs Por15. However that's just my opinion.
