Steel-it paint

Post by Scott Cee AKA 2drx4 »

Anyone try that Steel-It paint that TMR sells? I know it's probably too rich for anything I'm building, but its an intriguing product.

Asking because they're absolutely spamming me about it being on sale right now. :homer:

I'm curious too, been thinking of buying a few cans and trying it.

I love TMR but I sure get tired of their constant spamming. Im not going to buy a flatbar bender already.....

You have to prep to bare metal big time. Like if it’s an axle full sand blast. Otherwise your just wasting your money

If you've gone to that much trouble then it seems like shooting it with an epoxy or other activated paint makes more sense.

The benefit is you can weld thru it

ive used it a little bit and seems to work pretty well but damn its not cheap but does hold up better then anything else in a spray bomb ive tried. just bought some of the quarts and tired rolling it on so can get it thicker so will see if thats better then the spray stuff.

TMR is now selling Seymour paint that is just like Steel it but way cheaper. i looked into a while ago but at the time could not find in Canada so nice to see TMR has it
