Default Re: frame paint

I had my 69 Frame painted with PPG's DelStar Acrylic Enamel, using the appropriate flattner and hardner. I was curious about PPG's OMNI line after I read your post so asked a factory rep at PPG headquaters....
Can you provide info regarding his comments and how much flattner and hardner did you use with the MTK acrylic urethane enamel if that was the case ?????

"OMNI is PPG's lowest priced line. It is used primarily on older used cars, trucks and tractors, etc. It's quality is not as good as DAR. PPG does NOT have a recommendation to flatten OMNI MAE acrylic enamel. You can however, flatten OMNI MTK acrylic urethane enamel.

How did you strip the frame? Media blasting, wire wheel...?

I used a wire wheel to remove the remnants of the factory tar-like substance that the frame was coated in,then blasted the rest with a media called black magnum which is approx $ 4.00 per 40lb bag at Menards.

Yes, I was seriously considering it but found another car instead. It still had the build sheet when I looked at it.
