It's nice to hear what you all like for paint but I didn't see much on how long it will last.
I'm willing to bet those high dollar paints will last, else why spend that much money for frame paint.
So here's a history lesson showing the test of time.
Back in the early 70's, I didn't even think of high dollar paint so I went and got Rustoleum red primer and Rusto enamel and gave my frame and suspension two coats of each.
Prior to painting it was just a wire wheel clean up,maybe some sandpaper here and there cause I didn't own a sandblaster yet.
Now this car was not a show car, but a limited street driver.
I always drove it but very little in the winter,wide tires didn't work well in the snow.
I just went out to the garage and looked to make sure I ain't blowin smoke up your differential and that paint is still there and it still has gloss to it.
I can't remember if they had semi-gloss paint 37 years ago nor did anyone care much back then trying to stay with a stock look, because it was customize everything back then.
Now I'm not trying to pump up Rusto paints, I'm just giving you a test of time report on a low dollar way to paint and what happened with it 37 years later.
If I'd wash the dirt off it would look really good cause there is NO RUST.
