bedliner on frame

[logant14]

[logant14]

I would use rustoleum hammered paint. It is really nice and has a somewhat hammered looking finish to it.

yeh i painted my frame with charcoal hammered spray paint. it turned out really well. its a little darker then the og color but has that hammered look to it so it looks nice. about 4 or 5 a can i used about 2 cans.

how much is it did you do, do i need to do any special prep work? can you show me a pic if you have one

I used spray paint from lowes and to prep it I used a fine wire wheel on a grinder then I wiped every thing down with acetone and paper towels and I know its not a close up picture but mine came out really nice.....would like to try the hammer paint....

Unless you prep really good it will flake off. I would use spray on bedliner before herculiner.

Major issue with any spray on cheapo liner stuff is they use bits of rubber and plastic to make it nonskid-that stuff flakes off.

prep your surface real well, strip it down / sand blast it if you can if not a wire wheel works good, then i use duplicolor undercoating because you can paint over it, then i used duplicolor MetalCast Ground Coat, and then Duplicolor MetalCast Red.

I am telling you, it holds up...yeah powder coating is great but wasnt my thing...take your time and do 2-3 coats of each and it will be perty! plus that undercoating is some tuff stuff, if you do it in steps its hard to even sand off! go to duplicolor.com and check out the different colors....not every store had all the colors had i know there was a blue i would have gone with that. its real sharp.
and its good up to like 500 degrees

Looks really nice man, if I was gonna do my frame that is how im gonna do it!

I just bought smoke gray rustoleum and went over all the rusted parts today. my quads still together tho, it matched the stock frame color pretty well tho.
