If you want the bed-wood painted black:
Mar-K:POR-15 Rust Preventative Paint with Behr black glossy enamel:
(paint all 6 sides of each board)
Three coats of POR-15 Rust Preventative Paint applied 3 hours apart and the first coat of Behr applied 3 hours after the last coat of POR-15 Rust Preventative Paint.
Two more coats of Behr applied the next day.
o This appears to be a durable black paint system.
o Possible slight reduction of gloss since the initial application in July.
o You can see the grain pattern of the wood but the boards are fully sealed
and there are no flaws in the coating.
I have used this technique on two pine-wood beds:
- 1954/55 GMC 25' COE bed
- 1954 3100 Chevrolet 1/2 ton bed
