in the shop today i got the eastwood
company's R&D guru john sloan with me
how you doing John great down
well I you know we got a big chunk of
frame here and and a lot of frames look
like this but we want them to look like
this and you guys could help me get from
here to here can't you
we sure can we just came out with a
urethane ceramic Cassie black paint that
I believe is the best chassis paint that
you can buy or apply because it's got
the urethane durability me plus the nano
ceramic technology schools the carrier
abrasion-resistant well let's let's
let's talk about this now you know
you're gonna start out with a nasty old
rusty frame as most of them are most of
them are and we're gonna go from that
point to this point what do we do from
here to here
well actually we abrasive blasted this
to get it to this clean white bare metal
surface and then we applied the epoxy
primer now digitally I this is a I mean
this is much smoother than this the jobs
are really ill in between I know these
primers will do some build but what did
you do get a little bodybuilder to yes
we did this you do get some build with
the epoxy primer but to further enhance
that we put a skim coat not only mr.
body filler under that first sanded it
and then apply the epoxy over it and
then we applied the satin ceramic
chassis black here and the gloss version
here and so this is actually an end
either or i mean if you want it it's
your huh
so we've got we've got basically that
we've got the the primer the satin or
gloss
that's right now now is very from a from
an durability standpoint how is this
urethane hold up over time it's far
superior than other epoxy or lacquer
enamel technologies it just has superior
abrasion resistance chemical resistance
UV resistance
that that's why I say it's it's the most
durable frame finish that i can think
they're now let's say I didn't have a
sandblaster available you guys also do a
rust encapsulator that i could probably
use at this stage instead of sand list
and and that's a good point because a
lot of people don't have a sandblaster
they may not even have an air compressor
that we hope they do so you can spray
these wonderful coatings but if they
don't have an abrasive blaster then yes
the rest encapsulator is a great way to
go and all they need to do to prep for
that is just get rid of the loose rusty
make sure the surface is grease and oil
free and spray or brush that on now you
got a bigger chunk of frame over there
that you guys have paid up kind of the
same stages you see that at the end it's
been blasted than you did the the gray
epoxy primer then you've got it mostly
in in the gloss there you can see all
the contours of stuff that back piece is
is done in the satin finish and and
that's a is that you know personal
preference or you want the finishes to
be OEM or is it is it really both it
really is both Dennis and the reason for
that is that the lotto m's would use one
sheen on the frame and perhaps another
sheen on the suspension components so we
want to cater to that as well as the
different genes that they used on the
frame itself
mhm so really this is a reasonably
straightforward system to use and and
any home hobbyist with the right safety
gear can can do this themselves right
that's right and it will hold up better
than any other paint that i can think of
that's really what we're looking for in
it absolutely right
hey don't know anything more about this
great chassis urethane nanotechnology
system from police with company one of
my classic art.com yeah I really like
this much better than this
I've got 20 frames but look like that's
