PLEASE REPLY WHAT YOU THINK

Oh yeah... the napa paint on rust converter with rust inhibitor paint I put on the frame started to bleed through in spots, so I took Stacey Davids(TRUCKS!) advice and got some Chassis Saver. I just put that over the 6 coats of converter and paint. Now only time will tell if she holds up to michigan weather.

O ok, Frame looks nice. Where'd you get that chassis saver stuff? I'm coating mine with some Military CARC paint I "found", lol radiation resistant and ultra flat black!

chassis saver

If you go to their site "magnet paints" and type in your zip for locations they will show anyone near you that sells it. Thats how I found it. Usually specialty paint or auto shops carry it.
