Another question... I haven't sand blasted a frame yet... when i do, should I immediately spray a rust preventative primer on it to stop any future rusting?
Hello Gary, Upon completing the sandblasting, I would suggest you: 1. METAL PREP the raw steel, as it alters the pH of the metal to better accept paint (this process will include spraying the metal prep on with a squirt bottle, waiting a prescribed period of time, and then rinsing with water, follow instructions) 2. let dry 3. Thin some Rustoleum 7777 (semi gloss black) and apply a few coats. Don't sweat any drips, runs or sags. No need for the fancy POR-15 stuff IMO. If you scratch the frame while assembling the rest of the truck, the Rustoleum touches up easy. This is how I did mine, there are pictures of it somewhere in my (now a few years old, and terribly neglected) build thread. Just my $.02
