Default Re: frame paint

I used one of the later versions of rattle can undercoat. It went on smooth enough to look correct. I am sure it will not hold up to gas and oil. I have considered stripping it and painting it. I have not made up my mind yet. G.

Default Re: frame paint

I am restoring a 68 GTO frame off and here is what I am considering doing.
Have the frame dipped and then matte clear powdercoated.
Then I can spray with the Quanta Aspahlt coating. This way if it is scratched or "washes off" it would look as it would have from the factory.
Anybody think that this would be a viable alternative?
