I have done my best to remove all grease from the k frame of the demon. There is currently a combination of paint and bare metal. Getting ready to paint it with chassis black from Eastwood and looking for some advice from guys that have experience using Eastwood chassis paint.

Should I epoxy prime, paint over bare metal or use rust converter on the k frame?

I can do any of the above just looking for best success..

Also have you sprayed on the chassis paint or did you use a brush?

Thanks for you advice...

I've used thier chassis paint a few times, and just got some more to do my Torana..I've always just used it in the spray can.

You can use it right over bare metal as well , just be sure and don't get anxoius and let it dry all the way before using the part.

If you do decide to use it over primer, they sell a primer made just for it as well.

Per Eastwood..
Works great over bare metal or Eastwood Rust Encapsulator, or Eastwood Chassis Black® Primer

I do like using their converter underneath it. That is a little more corrosion protection. Also, there is a noticable difference btween their chassi black and Extreme Chassis Black.

yea.. I did not realize the availability of the extreme chassis black until after I received the chassis black. The cost was only a few dollars more but not worth sending back and paying for shipping will use extreme next time.

how about application spray or brush?

Craig

Spray everything, whenever possible.

I used rust encapsulator as my primer and chassis black on my K-member. I used a brush and it still turned out great.

You can use it over bare metal and old paint.It could lift around the old paint but I don't think it will. Biggest thing is, you cannot recoat. It will lift. So be sure you got all angles and surfaces the first time because if you recoat the next hour, day or week it will lift. The new stuff is not supposed to do that. Good luck.

PS did you try pressure washing that thing at the car wash? Works pretty good with a little gasoline pre-treatment before hand.

so for clarification are you saying only only one coat?

There is a sticker on the top can that says wait 24 hours until applying 2nd coat.

Thanks,

Craig

I've put a couple coats on at the one time, and a couple weeks later blown in areas that I scratched and never had any problems

Gas costs more then degreaser now though..
