Which brands do you guys like and which have you had bad experiences with- prep, primers, and top coats for frames and suspension. I'm curious to hear your opinions.

Chassis Saver is all you need...

What exactly are you trying to do?

Heavy rust repair is not necessary. I need to strip the frame, clean up the surface rust, then begin painting.
Eastwood, Extreme Chassis Black (Satin) has a close sheen to OEM. Shoot the rear axle as well with it. It's epoxy based (premixed), so the durability is there. I believe you can spray it on bare metal or self etching primer. I personally would prime it with a self etching (high zinc) then spray the Eastwood over it.
For my mustang (unibody), I'm blasting it - spraying self-etching primer, and then going with PPG-DPLF epoxy primer for the body (blue) then topcoat.
The only way around, is through
Build Primer, then Ultra Blue (1992 paint code MM) or maybe the original 1986 Regetta Blue.
Check these guys out www.southernpolyurethanes.com, I think I'm going with their epoxy primer instead, it's combined with a self etcher.
Good luck!

Chassis Saver I've heard works well.
I have experience with POR15 and that works good too. It's hard as a rock and is available in high gloss black, flat black, clear, grey, and silver.
