Default Re: frame paint

In 1991 I was doing a frame-off on a customers 1969 Corvette, every part the customer wanted had to be NOS or restored depending on the condition, through discussions and meeting people at Bloomington Gold I was able to aquire a 5 gallon pail of asphalt based coating that was used on the chassis. It was a bit thick, I thinned it out and sprayed it. The finish of the chassis was perfect, I sprayed the chassis standing it up on the end like the factory and had all the runs on the bottom just like the it was originally. Like greg said any wax or grease remover would take it right off. GM was not looking for longevity just a quick finish and semi protection.
