- I just encountered a restoration guy, specializing in MGs, who is using a satin black John Deere paint and found it to be quite durable. He paints the frames in this black, which IS a high quality pa

- I've just ordered some paint called POR-15. It claims to dry shiny, even (no brush marks) and hard if correctly applied. Guy claims it's about as tough as powder coat. We'll see! I'm going to paint t

- Tony, thanks for the posting. Could you be more specific on what you use as "metal prep." Is this a de-greaser? Any specifics would be appreciated. Dick Buckingham, Jr. a former powder coat "nut" who

- POR-15 is very tough stuff. I haven't used it in an engine bay, so I don't know how it holds up to nasty fluids. I used some on rusty flooring after scraping, wire brushing and sanding. It's still th

- I agree on the Zynolyte paint. I have been using it for everthing on my race Bugeye for a number of years. It has a hard finish, the color selection is good, and it is easy to apply. It works well on

- Oops! I should have done a better job on that . . . "Metal Prep" is what they call it at the paint and body shops and auto paint supply sources around here . . . It's what they mop on bare metal . .
