    Red rattlecan paint for frame?

    What is a good color match in a red spray bomb for touching up or redoing the frame? Is there a red rattlecan paint that holds up to use?

    enamel if you wanna do this, but strip you frame to the bare metal or have it sandblasted, then it will hold for years.

    Sunrise Red by Rustoleum is a pretty good match for the Honda red.

    My favorite, and it holds up well, is "Plasti Kote Super Enamel - Swift Red" but the only place I found it was at CarQuest Auto Parts and mine closed down

    I would suggest going to the local automotive refinishing supplier and asking for a rattlecan to be filled with automotive paint. It will be a little bit more expensive but you will be glad you did it when its done. If you can you should use a spray gun and compressor so that you can put some hardener in with the color. There is a company called ALSAcorp that will fill spray cans up and they have a small amount of hardener built into the can that you release into the color right before you use it. I think they are around $40 per can. It is good advice from oldskool83 to have the frame completely stripped to bare metal first. If you have the luxury of a spray gun put two nice coats of 2 part epoxy primer on the bare metal. If you are stuck with the cans start with a self etching primer on the bare metal but be sure to at least spray some top coat sealer with a rattlecan on it before you spray the color. I have been painting collision repair autobody and custom jobs for 20 years I would be happy to give you any pointers I can if you should need them. Check out that ALSAcorp website, if for nothing else they have some of the wildest paints on the planet. Thats comin from a guy that lives next to the birthplace of Don Kosmoski's House of Kolor.
