Need some ideas on what kind of paint you all like to use .. Like rattle can or single stage or fast dry enamel for trailers . Etc I'm not going to powder coat or base clear it for sure. I really don't want to etch prime it eather . Just shoot over bare metal. And ideas would be appreciated !

I'm wanting a super bright neon like green or blue

i would recomend the self etching primer if you want the paint to stick, and for paint i would use some sort of tractor, equipment, or trailer paint, since your not going with a base/clear, which i wouldnt do either. jmo

I used Tractor Supply paint on my dump bed and its been over a year of abuse with no problems. I used the catalyst that you can buy with the paint and also their primer. It was on a freshly sandblasted bed. Fairly cheap and seems to be really strong. Not sure if they have bright lime green though.

How is it holding up for you ? Is it fadeing badly , rusting under the paint ? I love that paint. In just wondering how thin it is etc ... How many cans does it take you for a full frame ? Sorry for all the questions 8) I think a paint gun would be easier to sprAy it .. I just need to stay in budget :lol: :lol:

tractor, truck, and implement paint from tractor supply is what i use. its cheap and all u have to do is throw a little hardener in it. it coats well and has a nice shine. but i have a buddy that refuses to use anything beside dollar store spray paint...
