[Chevelle-list] Best primer - frame/ suspension parts2

[JDHall]

I have had some frames galvanized with no problems. The trick is not to have the final step of oil quenched done and not to let it get wet until its painted or coated. The whole process doesn't run much more than having a frame just stripped.

  I used the Eastwood powder coating kit for my suspension parts. I also used the Eastwood red primer and chassis black for the frame. The frame needs to be prepped; I used 3M wheels, cut the rust great. POR will work also but is a bit messy to work with. POR only requires degreasing and knocking off any lose rust and paint. I used this on the drive shaft. Will send pics if you like.

  I've never heard of a powdercoat "primer"

   

  I know of some places that zinc plate or galvanize before they apply the powdercoating though.

   

  The biggest problems with powdercoating is poor prep work (cleaning, degreasing, etc..) and improper cure time/ temperature.

   

  I powdercoat stuff all the time here at home and get better results than the stuff I took to the "pros".  Of course, my size capabilities are limited to what I can fit into the oven in my garage.

  correct me if wrong, but there are a couple ways to do the powder coat, one with a primer powder coat and one without any primer???

  i would think the primed way would be better????
