|  painting tube work
Is there a good brand/type of paint recommended for tube work? I am looking for something durable. I bought some Valspar brand Implement paint from Tractor Supply and it seems to scratch easy.

Rust-oleum hammer finish is what i use it hold up real good  p.s the hammer finish also hides all imperfictions. |

| Primer
This may sound like a silly question, but are you using primer first? For the longest time I didn't use it. BIG MISTAKE!! Better paint adhesion and flaw hiding are only 2 of the benefits.

Painting tubes is tough. If you love the rig have it powder coated. I have a buddy on ORCRC (Oregon) that powder coats for cheap. This include a bead blast.  Highlandcrawler This is the guy. I looked back on the oregon fourm. 30.00 for a tube chassis. Thats a fu*kin deal Evan |

thats what i use, lay down primer, then duplicolor spray on bedliner and then you can put any color you want on top of that. i also did that with paint match on my tube fenders on my 1:1 jeep
