Title: What to use on undercarriage
Post by: Filthy Filbert on August 13, 2023, 04:47:05 PM
I'm not overly concerned with originality.   I'm about to begin the restoration of my suspension components.   

What have you guys used?   I'm not afraid of using 2-part paints/epoxies sprayed with an HVLP gun.  I've heard mixed reviews of products like POR-15....

Just looking for suggestions on what to use for things like the K-member, control arms, etc.

Powder coating is a good option .

Ive only gotten to my k frame so far which I had blasted and powder coated a semi gloss.  Same boat as you, not concerned with concourse original and wanted durability.  I couldn't be happier.

Thanks guys.  Looking for something more DIY friendly.    I have a couple HVLP guns and have some some panel paint jobs.  I do not have an oven or other equipment for curing powder coat.

I haven't used this but it sounds good. You have to use the entire can once you push the 2K button in.

I used some 2k and the brand was imaxx and it sticks on the parts much better vs cheap rattle cans
