I'm pretty dissapointed with the results. I put a good effort into doing it right. I stripped it to bare metal, primed it with self etching primmer sanded that with 1,000 grit and really took my time painting it. I made sure the frame was warm (70*+ all day and even left the big propane heater running for a while after I painted it) Some streaks in it, but that's not the problem.
I can scrape it right off with my fingernail. Some spots are hard as heck and perfect, but for the most part I can just scratch it right off.

I needed something pretty tough to handle getting muddy and dirty and mostly take the abuse of pressure washing it.

I'm gonna strip it and start over.


What really makes me mad is I spilled some on a dusty, oily workbench and you can't get the crap off. :evil:


I put some touch up spray paint on the back part of the frame last year and that stuff is so hard you can't hardly scratch it with a knife.
