The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts Advice on treating the frame

My advice would to clean up the frame the best you can, pressure wash it if you've got one and use Por-15 or a really good primer. Then put on a good semi-gloss or flat black paint. The semi-gloss or flat seems to do a good job hiding imperfections. If you are using it as a dump/flatbed anyways it going to get dirty and messy, so a big $ paint job is going to look the same as a small $ paint job after the first puddle you go through. Just do a carefull and neat job and it will turn out way cool.
