I'm getting ready to pull the body off . I'd like to get some opinions as well as experiences on one or the other.
I'm not on an unlimited budget, or else sandblasting and powdercoat would be a "no brainer".
The car is a very rust-free New Mexico car, so heavy rust is not a concern.
Once it's completed I plan on entering it in a couple judged car shows and then driving the he!! out of it.

 

Another option is the black paint Tractor Supply sells, thin it with a little acetone and shoot it, very tough stuff..

 

On a budget also, wire wheeled...then I used Eastwoods rust dissolver...then rust converter.......then rustoleum rusty metal primer.....then Eastwoods 2k chasis paint.....looks good, but not all together yet.....hopefully durable ... I also used Eastwoods internal frame coating
Did it for about $500
Hope this helps?

Eastwood has some very good products.

 

I would check around on powder coating. The shop that did the wheels for my 4Runner said around $400 to blast and coat the frame.

 

I recently paid $500.00 to powder coat my 55 88 frame, chassis parts, and bumper brackets. Included pick up and delivery when finished (only took 4 days!)......

 

There's a guy of the FB Olds page said he paid 200 for his frame and 75 for a whole bunch of suspension and other stuff. I think I need to shop around some more.

 

Powder coat it and be done.

 

Anything but POR 15

 

Have you heard of Corroseal? You can get it only on Home Depot website or ebay. Its like POR-15 but it will not stain on your skin.
