    Before tear down...


    Got the frame ready for paint. I went with the recommendation to use the prep and ready spray before using POR-15. It neutralized what little rust was there and left the metal surface with a slight etching for paint adherence! Works for me hopefully on my days off I will get some Painting done!


    and after...


    POR-15 is unlike any paint I have ever used.. watery but goes on pretty thick, reminds me of a cross between a permanent marker and tar! If you are going to use it you MUST HAVE "mineral spirits" close by because no matter how careful you may be its gonna make a mess. I was underneath the chassis and it dripped almost into my eye, have to act fast or else its a waiting game before it will come off. Hell just getting the lid off the can for my first use I thought I was going to need a can opener because it was super stuck on lol

    Friend of mine was on his way, but I got impatient lol Had the picker in the rear, wasn't long enough for the bed so I tied some hooks into the header above and used some tie downs. You cant see in the picture very well, but I set the front tie downs too close to the garage door so I couldn't raise the garage up to get the truck out. Almost ruined the garage door...lol I live in Vegas and dont see much snow/rain so the Por-15 was a little over the top... but it turned out better than expected.
