Cleaning up a subframe
Hi lads, just wondering what is the best type of paint for a subframe. I am cleaning up the front and back subframes and im wondering if hammerite would be good enough to paint them with or should I spray them. Cheers.

Re: Cleaning up a subframe
I have tried Hammerite and only gloss type paints with varied success.I have had my last subframe powdercoated but have yet to take it out.As regards paint I have heard good things about Por 15 but it is hard to get.
Real Clubmans have a square nose.Seriously.

I bought Por 15 a few years ago from Frosts in the UK and they still stock it as far as I know.

Re: Cleaning up a subframe
Did anyone here use the rustaway products in the end/yet?
I'm just wondering too would the starter pack be enough to do both subframes or would you need the chassis pack?
Thanks

Hammerite lasts about 9 months, but I dont think its great.

Re: Cleaning up a subframe
I ended up using "LOWE". Its a machinery paint and seems to be good stuff.
