Belton Molotow is what I use....
1. Sand blast area with rest masked, or sandlblast whole frame.
2. Sand to 400.
3. Complete coat of Metal Etching primer.
4. Wait a day.
4a. Sand primer to 400. (Forgot this part...)
5. 3 coats of Belton Molotow - one coat every 15 minutes.
6. Let dry for 3 - 7 days to allow outgassing to complete.
7. Lightly sand to 800.
8. Apply any decals that need to be protected.
9. Have a pro apply clearcoat with hardeners for protection.
Priorities:
- Getting the primer right. Blow this, ruins whole paint job.
- Let color paint out gas.
- Clear coat with hardener.
To be honest though, most folks go powdercoat - cheaper and quicker.
