Dustin,

     How does Clovathane compare with POR-15 (other than price)?  I'm just
about to the stage of painting my frame and certainly would like to go
cheap if it is high quality and cheap.  I wanted to go with powder coating,
but that seemed too expensive.

Hey everybody,

If anybody's looking for the right paint to use for their chassis- I found
it. Use Cloverdale paints black "Clovathane" equipment enamel and it's 2
part
epoxy primer. This stuff is super cheap (like under $100 for a gallon of
paint and everything to mix it). It's the easiest paint I've ever shot, it
looks just as good as $1000+ automotive finish, they can custom match it
and
it's just about the toughest stuff you can buy anywhere. I will guarantee
anyone this paint is tougher than lineX bedliner. I painted a tilt tandem
(super nice) car trailer I built with it about 5 years ago and it still
looks
like new and I use it all the time. I got the plain gloss black, it's too
glossy (still looks wet) for a stocker, but looks great, or have it dulled
for an original look. The best part is it reduces with MEK so don't plan on

operating any machinery after you paint!
