Rustproof car frame paints 

Among the car paints for car parts, we offer a complete panel of products to paint car frames. The role of a paint for car frame, before being aesthetic, is above all to adhere and protect. Here are our advices to understand the important aspects of a renovation or a first car paint on a frame.

Whatever the type of car frame, it is first necessary to analyze the condition of it and ask yourself the following questions :

- Is the car frame painted or bare?

- Is the car paint applied on this car frame solid and in good condition?

- if the metal is bare, what kind of metal is it?

it's about saving hours of stripping or sanding work, as well as costly sandblasting and gritblasting services, plus the work involved in applying a new adhesion primer on the structure to often end up with the same starting point: if the car frame has been primed in a factory or by a professional, it's totally useless to strip and redo the work. This is wise and useful in case the paint is of poor quality, peels off or rust develops under the paint.

The car paint for frame to protect against corrosion and oxidization.

Identifying the type of metal :

You don't put the same primer on a ferrous metal as you do on aluminum! This is very important. Further down this page we show the different primers available : the ultra high performance all metal primer, which can withstand the most extreme conditions, as well as the two component epoxy 292 primer.

However, to paint a car frame, it is not important to use such an extreme primer. The simple iron and aluminum primers we offer are professional quality products, which guarantee a perfect adhesion on the car frames, but also an excellent protection against corrosion.

The application of the car paint for frame is done with a spray gun. All types of car paint are possible, from simple and effective 2K paints to more complex effects with metallic, candy or other paints (see below).

About car frame corrosion

It is a chemical phenomenon of aging of metal by oxidization with air and water.

Did you know that just because a metal is perfectly protected and coated from the outside, it is not completely safe from corrosion? Indeed, corrosion can spread under a topcoat and develop regularly. Primers, but also special anti-corrosion topcoats, have a special ingredient that helps stop and prevent oxidization.

Using special effects car paints on the car frame

With a special effects manufacturer like Stardust, there are plenty of possibilities to customize your car frame. We are talking about special colors such as chameleons, fluorescents, candy and many others.

Is the resistance of these special car paints inferior ? The question does not arise because they are essentially 1K basecoat car paints : the resistance is ensured by the finishing topcoat.

The car frame topcoat

We can also talk about topcoat to be applied directly on the bare metal of the car frame, because it is now perfectly possible, with the adhesion topcoats and the anti-corrosion topcoats. The advantage is to protect the metal efficiently and above all to keep the raw and original aspect of the car frame.

Then, we talk about the classic topcoats that come as a final step after the painting : What do we ask from a car frame topcoat, besides its glossy or matt appearance ?

Durability, abrasion resistance and water resistance.

In this field, it is the ceramic topcoat which outperforms all other topcoats on the market by 50 to 75% in terms of hardness and scratch resistance.
