    Frame paint?

    What type or name brand are you guys getting the best results with for frame touch ups?
    I had some rusty spots and did some small frame mods so I need to touch up the paint and didnt want to just use crappy rattle can.
    What works the best?

    If you're just touching up and not repainting the entire frame you may as well use rattle can. The first thing to do is use a little Ospho on the area that was rusted to treat the rust. Then prime and touch up. Duplicolor Plastikote holds up pretty well even on wheels.

      I used the Duplicolor gloss black to touch up the frame on my Skunk. I sprayed some in a small container and used a paint brush to avoid it going all over the place.

        Black gloss Rustoleum (you can get it in a small can to apply it with a brush) works pretty well. When first applied it is somewhat glossier than the original frame paint, but in time it fades a bit and blends in pretty well.

          I didn't want to use gloss because it is shinier than original so I managed to find a spray bomb of semi-gloss and i loved the results. It looks stock to most people.
