Ready for paint

It's only the frame but I am excited anyway.

I can't Imagine what the excitement going to be when painting the body.

I am pretty happy with the results so far (especially since it's my first time with a spray gun) used Eastwood's platinum rust encapsulator.
Hopefully top coating tomorrow, with extreme chassis satin black.

What kind of paint will you be using? I would recommend a urethane for the frame. The frame takes more abuse than the body. At least the body gets washed from time to time. How often does the frame get washed.

I wouldn't recommend urethane, its really UV protection, I don't think the sun will shine to much on the frame. I would epoxy it..

Topcoat is Eastwood extreme chassis black.
Found out the hard way about properly cleaning the spray gun. (Took an hour to clean it properly) thought I did last night

That is a great deal. If I didn't have a project going now I would be all over that. Someone is going to get a fantastic deal.
