Dave –
I âme restoring a vintage 60’s Triumph motorcycle frame. Rear section is raw mild steel. Front section is original baked enamel. Will this work over both surfaces and will it hold up pretty well to chipping? I’m trying to avoid the cost of Powdercoating with is expensive and not very original but would like to know this paint will offer some hardened protection. I assume it should be used without a primer coat.

Answer
Seymour Paint –
You can use with or without a primer on new milled steel. If the enamel paint on the front is glossy you should probably wipe down with a chemical deglosser or wet sand with 600 grit to improve adhesion. For the topcoat, I’d apply 2-3 light coats within 10 minutes of each other and then leave it to fully cure (72 hours).

Can this be used on a semi truck frame that is already painted a different color without the fear of flaking or peeling or should the original paint be removed?

Answer
Seymour Paint –
As long as the paint you’re going over is free of dirt and grease and is oil based in nature, the big rig will stick to it permanently.

Answer
Seymour Paint –
It’s not necessary to clear coat, but if you do, please make sure the fleet white is FULLY CURED first. This could take anywhere from 3-7 days depending on thickness and drying conditions.

I’m looking for a durable primer topcoat clear coat combination for my motorcycle restoration. Which of your products do you recommend?
Upvote if this was helpful (0) Downvote if this was not helpful (0) Flag for removal
Answer
Seymour Paint –
20-1661 is a high gloss. Would recommend 20-1631 light gray primer followed by the 20-1661. A clear coat is not necessary……and is discouraged in this case as the alpine green is a superior coating to the clear we offer.
