This is not a debate between paint or powder coat. I am going to use the Rustoleum appliance paint.
Some of you may remember my thread about how I screwed up painting my frame with VHT roll bar and chassis paint. I did poor prep work. And now it's rusting through in spot's.
So to the point.
When using the appliance paint, do I need to use primer first. Or can I spray it on bare metal like the VHT.
Just had a thought.
Could I get buy with sanding out the rusty spot's, and then go over it with the appliance paint. The reason I want to switch paint's is because the VHT is really thin, and it comes out rather dry looking if you get over spray anywhere. And it's really hard not to get over spray when painting a frame.
The Rustoleum is supposed to be thicker, and stays wetter,, longer,,, from what I've read.
Or should I just sandblast the frame again and start over.
