I have removed about fifty years worth of added steel from my 54, 6400's frame and getting ready to prep. for paint. Once the frame is clean I was thinking of using rustoleum applied with a brush (to keep things economical) as my truck will be a working farm/logging truck. Has anyone used this process? and how has it performed?

Hi Pappy,
I used Eastwood's chassis black and their primer, applied with a brush. very happy with the results, the paint laid down nicely and looks sprayed on. Good luck!

Pappy, Lay a good coat of Rustolium on it and drive away. Some folks like to make a science out of painting frames but in your case I think you'll be very satisfied with the Rustolium. BTW, I used it on mine.

Red primer, topcoat, two coats each, and you'll be good to go.
