|
|
I am masterseries coating my wheels Saturday and want to paint sunday. I am doing 5 smoothies and a gas tank. After 2 coats of Masterseries on everything I would like to paint them all white. Since I have access to a booth and a nice gun setup I would like to spray it on correct instead of using spray paint. Can anyone suggest a single stage paint I can go pick up local? Was thinking about tractor supply paint as I am guessing it is pretty durable. Thoughts? |

I've used appliance epoxy in the rattle can with good success.
I've even used the same paint on a jeep frame.
Bonds well and resists chips.
Might can find it in the quart or gallon.
Check wallymart, it's made by several mfg, but i've used rustoleum.
Implement paint at tractor supply is good quality paint also.
It's durable and resists chips and worked well on my brothers old
ford tractor.
The option is yours. Maybe get a little of each and do a test.
I know both come in rattle can and quarts. _________________ Selling the SB:

I have had great success with Tractor and Implement paint (made by Valspar). I buy mine from Tractor Supply. About $27/gal or $9/qt. Let is cure for about a week and you are go to go. |
