Paint for car rotisserie...

[Brad-Man]

I am almost finished welding my ritisserie, have an HF 40# pressure type sandblaster that I will use to get all mil scale off (areas that weren't welded).

What type of primer/paint should I use on it?

[big rig guy]

Dupont Imron 5000, see your jobber, he will set you up with the DTM primer and topcoat.

Good hard paint that is durable. Pricey but you should not need too much.

Maybe drag it over to a bodyshop and they will paint for you, know anyone that works or owns a bodyshop?????

I have seen guys, apply the material with a brush with good results too.

Imron will stand up to the elements if you ever store it outside!!
Hope this helps.

High Temp Rustoleum will work fine for you.

Powder Paint it, use a infrared propane heater as the heat source

What have you guys got against $10 a gallon implement & machine paint?

Absolutely nothing: BUT, Most likely(since this piece of equipment is large) the rotissaire will be stored outside.
Since the builder obviously shops at HF, spend 50 on the Chicago Electric Powder Paint outfit. He can use it again and again on his restoration project. The PC(Powder Coating) is more durable and has a better finish than implement and machine paint (which is Exremely hard to find a decent brand for $10.00)

Sometimes even the old dawg needs to get off the porch and take a walk down the street to see whats new :) :waving:

I'm anxiously waiting for the reply to that last statement:D :D

Well I am thinking that this guy has a fair amount of time invested building the rotisseri, spelled that wrong did'nt I.

So if it were me, I would go the extra distance and finish the job with a good quality paint job.

Actually, I am able to store it inside...

Brad-man, one of the RX7 Forum members lives near you and is able to powder paint and cure with the infra-red heaters. I can check and see if he could help you out. John

[Brad-Man]

That would be cool to investigate, my only concern is having no way to transport it...

[Banzaitoyota]

Like I have said, with infrared heaters he can come to you

I like Por 15 or Mastercoat brand paint.Its not cheap but can be paint right on rusty or sandblasted surfaces.
