Pan what to paint with?
What are you all using to paint pans?
The epoxy stuff? POR-15 Or just get the whole thing powder coated?

I used POR 15 on top, and some thin undercoating and POR 15 underneath.
I painted the framehorns, framehead, and rear torsion tube with some industrial oil-based black enamel.

how does powdercoating go with stone chips etc? ive wondered about that, once it chips cracks or anything nothings there to stop the exposed part rusting, you can't exactly fix powdercoated stuff as easy as things like POR etc, id love to know from people with experience aswell.

you should rhino line (or other truck bed liner) the whole pan. some of the brands are kinda expensive but there are so brands that you can paint on yourself or you can take it to a place that does it proffessionally and have them spray it.
it may make your car a little heaver but you will never have to worry about rust and it may help with sound deadining. |

I use rustbullet, after using POR15 it is similar but much less fussy with prep..

I did mine with rust bullet. Less prep work than por-15.
A good metal primer, then a couple of coats of enamel will be fine for a driver. Make sure you do your prep-work for any of these methods you choose. Powder coating would be a waste unless this is some kind of high dollar custom, that was being paid for by the powder-coating company. |

We are doing an Oval for a customer and had the pan powdercoated grey and the beam and al other parts black. total was $700. I have some pix of the pan built up and it looks real nice.

Thats about the price that I was thinking (I've had PC work done before).
$700. is a lot of $$$ to me (when there are options under/near $100). |

I thought it was a good price for everthing they did. Pan, beam, trailing arms, tie rods, caps, body mount washers, etc.

I would never powder coat the pan. (because of the torsion that's in every car)
