Figured since my truck is now slightly lifted and you can see the rusty underside, I busted out some Tremclad rust paint and painted my rear end and LCA's. Looks a little nicer now. Been thinking of painting the frame black too, but I dunno.

Whatddya think? Cleans it up a bit for sure. Dunno how long it'll last though.

 

what kind of paint did u use?

 

Tremclad Rust paint

 

wanna do mine next?

 

I have enough paint left over to do it, so...get your *** up here.

 

up there? no no down here haha jk maybe

 

I don't want any punk kids throwing sh*t at my truck...

 

HEY! that was a low blow!

 

I did mine last week too.. I re-spray mine every spring to freshen it up...

whatd you do to prep it for that? or can you juts spray that paint over anything

 

I use a wire wheel to mine then spray it

 

I just used same sand paper to clean the crap off the rear end and then just sprayed it. With the front, I didnt do anything except spray it. We'll see how it holds up. Doesn't matter to me if it starts flaking off soon.

 

Yeah mines already starting to flake off when I wash it. It lasted about 2 months lol

 

looks good,ive always liked those style mazda's!

 

looks good! Im about to start mine, gonna try the cheaper truck bed coating

 

I'm still debating about Rockerguarding the lower half. Finances don't allow at the moment.

 

should hit that front crossmember too...just saying....tremclad paint is now on my to do list...

 

i just keep caking it on, no cleaning.

 

looking good

 

just go ahead and paint the frame, any flexing you amy do will show it, and itll look good painted black to match the axle and front crossmember

 

Looks good man, finally

 

If the rain holds off tomorrow I'll do the frame.

 

alright, so I did the frame this morning.

Nice rockers eh?

 

damn, i spent hours cleaning the sides of my frame before i sprayed it. Used a hard wire brush and got it down to the silvery bare metal. Then did primer, paint, and satin clear. 5 months later and it's holding up good, just seems to have faded a bit.

 

well, you also live in California where you dont have to deal with snow, salt and rust for half the year. But damn that looks clean!
