Progress and a question

[BWillis]

Had a productive weekend. Found time to pressure was some parts that were still dirty from when I stripped the car. This brings up the question.

What paint do you guys use when refinishing the black parts. In particular the suspension pieces.

Also had time for a birthday party for my 1yr old daughter. Unfortunatly she didn't get any bugeye parts from any friend s or family /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

right now i am using moss black engine paint. it's seems to be working but i am worried about durability. in some cases i am looking to powder coat certain parts but you're limited to what you can powder coat.

I'm using 2 part automotive paint. It's a bit glossy but should hold up well.

 

[fmichaels]

i would think that's the way to go. i don't have that option right now so i am dependent on spray cans.

RustOlum rattle cans.

Try the Rustoleum "Professional Grade" spray cans (gloss black).
Wouldn't hurt to wax them afterwards if you want to really do them up.

I used high temp black rattlers. They seemed to give the most consistent results for me.

Thanks for the replies guys. I've been using "low gloss black" 500degree engine paint. I think it should hold up pretty well as its oil and gas resistant but wanted to see what you guys were using.

Thanks!

I use black epoxy appliance paint and a respirator. Phil

Most times on my own cars I've used the rattle-can Rustoleum Pro Grade or their "Bar-B-Que" black. If it's a true restoration (particularly for a client) the bits would get dipped/stripped, epoxy primer'd and polyurethane finished in the appropriate colors.

Powder coat on most bits, PPG two stage Chassis Black on the rest.
