Best frame paint???

[wjhuskey]

I'm currently using paint stripper and a wire brush grinder on my frame to prep it for new paint. Mainly wanting to get rid of the old faded red paint so I'm stripping it all off the frame cause I don't want to see it again if the new paint chips off. I don't want to waste my time doing all this work and paint it with something that won't last so I wanted to ask what the best frame paint out there is? I have a paint spray gun and very experienced with it. I'd rather have a one step primer/paint all in one, if they make it, and something that's very durable and protects against chips. I'm currently looking at buying Chassis Saver by Magnet Paints. Any advice???

i would think that powder coating would be more durable??

are there any shops or independents that can go to your site to do this?

Powder coating has to be baked

2-part polyurethane or epoxy would be more reasonable for a frame not totally stripped.

I was hoping to avoid having it powder coated as it would get more expensive than I'd like. Wondering if there are any durable paints made specially for frames and sounds like that's what Chassis Saver is made for.

I just striped, scraped, cleaned, and osfoed the frame on my t800. Painted it with bedliner. I recommend the herculiner over the cheap stuff, it goes on more like an epoxy than a paint though.

If you have a auto body supply store near by go see them. Most will do business with the public. They will know what is best. I would personally use the paint they paint small trailers with. I dont know if it's best but it's easy to spray and it's durable.
