Frame Painting/Coating - POR15 or EASTWOOD or BOTH
Well after selling my 74 FJ40 last October it didn't take long until I couldn't stand it and got another one (77 FJ40). This 77 has been sitting for quite a while but all in all not in too bad of shape however after learning from the past (my 74) I decided to do this one up right. Let me say I'm not calling it a frame off, I just have room in the shop and it's now all in pieces.
MY QUESTION - I have read a lot of threads about what guys "are planning on doing" when it comes to rustproofing, coating, and painting their frames, leafs, and differentials but I want to know from some experiences what is working out best. I have used a good bit of EASTWOOD stuff and I like the quality. No matter what else I use I am using some EASTWOOD RUST CONVERTER for sure. After that what has been used? Why did you use it? and How is it working out? In particular I want to hear about POR15, EASTWOOD Rust Encapsulator, Heavy Duty Anti Rust, and maybe EASTWOOD Extreme Chasis paint or SUMMIT Chasis paint.
This is not going to be a "show truck", just a good solid truck that will get the regular undercarriage pressure washing. (Georgia Red Clay).
I have done a good but of sandblasting on the frame and I'm going to do some more before coating and painting. Please give some input and pictures would also be great.
Thanks
