Plastikote in Action...

Okay Guys,

The rear-end of our 1955 F100 Ford F100 panel truck is ready to get assembled to the chassis.  The last thing that we needed to do was paint it.  As I've mentioned before, we're using Plastikote's Chassis & Grille Guard Epoxy Paint for all of our chassis components.  We picked the matte black finish. 

We want a durable, maintenance free finish under the ISIS Power truck.  This is a working truck for us and we it as reliable as possible.  The Plastikote line of products work great for our application.  They go on easily with no specialized equipment.  Our paint booth and spray capabilities are pretty limited so the fact that these finishes come in a spray can makes this brainless for us. 

We took one last swing at the rear-end with the wire wheel and some Scotch Brite to clean up any surface rust that popped up.  We hit it with a tack cloth and went to town with the paint.  Check out the action. 

Stay tuned for more.  We have a little more paint work to do on the chassis then we start assembling the Heidts Superide II IFS and their Classic Truck 4-Link Rear.  We also need to get the engine and transmission mounted plus set up the drive shaft.
