I won't ever buy this stuff again. Pay $13 a can for it and it don't spray out of the can. Nice.... From now on, no more crappy Eastwood Aerosol cans.

If I ever buy it from again, it will be in the quart contatiners that will be sprayed.

Problem is I bought this awhile back hoping I'd be able to work on the project. Instead, I was changing diapers for the past year.. hehheh

Eastwood replaced a missing part on a product I purchased 5 years prior that had sat on a shelf until I finally got around to using it and noticed the missing part. They may not be the cheapest, but they have the best customer service anywhere. I agree, give them a call or email.

Hey ed, thats great. If they replace free of charge, I'll be customer for life. And I'll delete this post!

I liked the Chassis black and underhood black. I bought quarts though.

I may use them again or just go with the Rustoleum Semi gloss black for the frame.

Seems pretty steep, $30 for a quart vs $10 for a quart of Rustoleum. I wonder if anyone has done some durability tests on them. GOtta think the Rustoleum would hold up. Might not have the same amount of solids, but for 1/3 of the price seems like a good choice for parts that don't get abused.

I think you can get it in quarts, too.

I painted my rear bumper brackets with the RO. They look good. It might be a good thing to perhaps try a hammer test or soemthing between Eastwood and Rustoleum?

That problem can happen with rattle cans when they sit that long and experience temperature changes from cold to hot. I like the Chassis black, but I won't bother with an aerosol can anymore simply for the fact that I use too much of it so getting a quart is cheaper in the long run anyways. I just thin it 20% and shoot it out of a cheap spray gun.

I used Eastwood Chasis black aerosol cans the other day and I was not happy...it is basically Gloss Black and not the satin I thought it would be, and it also took at least 24 hours for the parts to dry so i could handle them, and that was in 70 degree california weather!!

Andy ment to say he bought a 55 gallon drum of Chassis black to cover up his mistakes, LOL
I painted my frame with the #1974 Rustoleum Semi gloss black for the frame. In a quart size and it was like $7.50 here and goes a long ways 1 Qt will do your frame Iam happy with my end results. I dont know if Andy got to see my finished frame when he was here at my house or was that the beer Andy?:beers: I do remember my foot was still all messed up, LOL:yes:

Set those spray cans in the sink and run hot water over then for a minute. It helps them spray better.

Its always better to give the business a chance to make things right before bad mouthing them-maybe not in your case, but sometimes its not the co's fault, but the user

I've used lots of their stuff. I've always found it to be good. It's not cheap, it's good. I'd use cheap if I was building cheap cars, I guess........but I don't build cheap cars. If you are having a problem with them, tell them first and give them a chance.
Like I tell my customers, if you aren't happy, tell me. If you are happy, tell everybody.
