    And the Frame is suppose to look like that GM lamp black. That GM dipped the frames in those Big Tanks of paint.

    Hawken I wanted to hang it in my Booth. And the Guys at work said it would fall and knock me out. And crush me. So i stuck with the Jack stands.

    A pair of engine stands work well to hold a frame. Just like having a mini rotisserie!

    I generally use black epoxy for frame/suspension/underbody. I mix the flat and gloss hardeners to vary the sheen.
    For underhood, I scored some Hot Rod Black made by Sherwin Williams. I was a great paint to work with. At the time it was sold under the Barrett-Jackson brand. Pep Boys had it on clearance.
    Always wanted to try the Sikkens Rally Black.
