So my frame is not rusted out. Some surface here and there that I can wire wheel down and prime. The question is what is the best paint for the frame. Should I go with the kinda expensive frame paint from Eastwood that is designed for automotive frames? Of is some satin black rustoleum good enough? Or go with some POR-15 or the like? I want to do it the right way and make it look good but also don’t want to spend a whole lot on it seeing how to be honest you never see it and I live in Florida so no salt problems. I’m going to go get some pictures to see what y’all opnions are.

It was undercoated at some point by a PO and I’ve been in the process of cleaning it up with some simple green and and a pressure washer. Still need the do more work before paint but just want it to look good. Here are the pics let me know what y’all think.

I’ve been using Krylon Semi-Flat for touch ups. It’s just about a perfect match.
