Any benefit or drawback to black over original?
Seems to be a large price difference for the convenience of the more appealing black color..

p.s. I hate that greasy FF. I washed mine off because I couldn't work on my Jeep after applying it. It was like getting bacon grease all over my clothes, without the joy of actually eating the bacon.
p.p.s. My wife said it stinks too! I can't smell so I wouldn't know these things.
I'm planning to keep it to inside the rails.
Paint what? Inside the rails?I'd suggest an actual paint like Eastwood's internal frame coating before fluid film. FF is a short term product, and once you spray the FF in there, you pretty much can't paint it. If painted first, you can always add FF over the paint every year.
LOL.. yes, that’s one of the reasons I want to do black. But I think I am going to tape all the holes, apply the FF and allow it to set (it never actually dries). Then give it a day or three before I remove the tapeDifference is the color of FF drip stains on your garage floor

I’ve already done the outside with POR15. The inside was done with FF last year. I want to redo the inside. Basically plan to do the inside every November.
Yes.
Yes. The paint would last for years, but since you have already done the FF that's no longer a viable option. Continue on with the FF.
What many of the "paint don't FF" crowd don't understand is that when you live in the Northeast and you use your Jeep as a daily driver, that paint don't last worth shit. You will never get every crack, crevice, nook or cranny with paint inside that frame.

Maybe, but I think you're glossing over the simple fact that the Eastwood product is a thin, easy flowing rust converting paint that seals the surface, is more or less permeant, and does not need to be redone at a set interval. There's a reason the factories paint chassis vs coating in something like Fluid Film. FF is a short term "aid" type product best applied over a permeant coating vs raw and/or rusty metal.

The stuff they use on the roads here is just that awful. We have brand new vehicles for sale with rust on the frames because of test drives in the winter.
Actually, one of the recent tactics of the low-dollar used car lots around here is to get a car from the Northeast that looks ok on the outside at a discount, and sell it to unknowing people at our typical market prices.
