Any reason other than the cost that you went with Por15 over powdercoating? Are you planning to box the frame and or IFS?

Looking good! I did both of my truck frames, suspensions, floor, and inside firewall with POR-15. It's less expensive than powder coating, you can do it yourself, it looks good, and it holds up very well. I'm happy with it...

And therein lies the key....
It is SO gratifying to be able to say you did it yourself.
