I was deadset on buying a gallon of magnet paints Chassi saver. Then a youtube comment recommend i check out CAT paints.

industrial enamel. If its good enough for a 12' bulldozer pusher its good enough for our frames.
Ordered some from local cat dealer
high gloss black 1 gal 48$
dawn grey medium black (for the body)-$52/gal
reducer-$28 gallon. I will have alot of the reducer left over.

Plan is to wire wheel and possibly blast my frame. Then hit it with the spray gun 2-3 coats. Use a brush to get into aint small areas the spray missed.

I want to compeltely coat my radius arms from my 05 fornt end, but can never get paint on the iwnside. outside cna be mint but theyll just rust away from the inside unless you dip the whole thing!
hmm...maybe ill just pickup another gallon of the cat high gloss black, thin it down, make a basin that is just big enough for the radius arms and dunk them to get the paint inside and out!
