Clearcoat????

[torquemonster]

Hey guys, my K member had some light surface rust on it where the powdercoat paint chipped off, so i cleaned the rust off, now i am wondering where to get clearcoat to put on, and if any you have suggested brands? any help is appreciated, thanks.

Any automotive paint store will have clear coat. I use PPG.

Local hardware stores will also carry a Krylon spray on clearcoat as well.

Why do you want to put clear coat on your k-member, who's gonna see it? Why not just get some primer and call it a day?

I thought clearcoat would protect it...no?

A nice rustoleum paint will do a decent job of protecting your metal. Clearcoat is nice for the exterior because it is less expensive to polish and wax to get rid of scratches rather than repaint the entire car.

It will, but it seems like overkill. Rustolem like sur_real1 said is your best bet, unless you do a lot of car shows and there's something you're trying to highlight under the car.

no, no car shows, just want to keep the rust off and away.... i'll try that rustolem, thanks guys:beer:
Where can i get Rustolem? at schucks or hardware stores?

Either True Value, Lowes, or Home Depot would have it. Schucks might have some, but probably not the selection a large hardware store would have. Try the true value in west seattle, they have an awesome paint section.
