i just recently bought a junked 72 chevelle for 800 dollars to use as a parts car. among other things i am replacing my 71 frame with the 72 ( 72 was drivin by grandma and the frame is nearly perfect) last night i sandblasted the frame and shot it with oil based primer ( thined it with laquer ) any suggestions on a good paint to paint the frame. i want it black. my friend thinks i need high temp stuff i disagree all suggestions welcomed

I have used both rustoleum's rusty metal primer and gloss black with good results. Six years later, it's still rust free. I'm thinking about squrting a clear polyurathane on top of that as well next year.

Any car past 1972 is just simply transportation, really!

I am NOT an experienced painter.

But I sprayed some Martin Senour 5121 black epoxy primer, and really like the way it looks.

Affordable, good rust protection...
Give it a shot!

I did the steam clean with really high pressure system then used a blow gun and dried it off. The used Rustoleum's black paint on mine and it still looks great after 8+ years. I may rough it up and coat it with some Zerorust or POR-15 but thats after I am done with my other prodjects first.

POR-15 gets my Vote. It's the rhino bedliner of paints.

It's called the Holeshot Boogie. You pull a holeshot and boogie on down the track.

Drive it like you stole it everytime, for tomorrow may never come.

And on the 7th day god said let there be an engine who's legendary brute force will never be matched, and loe the Chevrolet big block was born.

It's amazing, after all this time she still runs.
