Hey gang..


I dont wanna paint my frame right now.. but there are spots that need attention.. Anyone know if a brush paint?? I could use that would be close to the factory colour of the frame?? I just have a few spots that bug me and are starting to get the virus of rust.

can anyone help?
Thanks
Dan

I've used International Harvester Red tractor enamel paint before. Another close match is a "Sunset Red" ... can't remember the manufacturer... Rust-Oleum maybe???

Nice Nice.... Thanks for the info..
I was wondering if anyone has done it before...

Rust-Oleum... Hmm never heard before.. I am going to have to hunt..

Sunset red as well.. hmmm I am going to have to look around for these paints!!
Thanks for the info buddy


Hmm I wonder if Massey Fergusson red tractor paint might work tooo.. now that I am thinking about it..
although it might be too dark?

sun set red by Rust-Oleum is what i use to match up with honda. its almost a direct match to honda's red.

I'll add another vote for Rustoleum Sunrise Red, a near perfect match.

Nice SOOO I need this paint.
Has anyone from Canada seen this paint before?? I know I have used many kinds of paints never heard of that brand name..

is it in spray or just brush?
Does Walmart sell it?? maybe I have a chance their since its a US store?

Yep, Walmart Handles That Rust Olem (wrong spelling, sorry :shrug: )
I've actually seen it significly slow down rust, or completely stops rust on any steel part it is sprayed on. Great Stuff.

Yeah no go..
I ended up getting a enamel.. and scanning the taillight bracket and they made the colour for me.
its sprayed and looks not too bad. I am good with it.

If anyone cares to check it out.. look on my build page check out the new coat lol :)
