pulled the convertible top frame off the car last saturday, and finished stripping all the material from it this morning. between the years of dirt/grime/rust and the soot/damage from the fire, it was a mess. I just dropped the frame off at the soda blasters to be stripped. I bit the bullet and sprung for all new weatherstripping and hardware.
I am planning on spraying the frame with POR15 semi-gloss when I get it back. I am a little concerned because POR15 is not UV stable, but I don't think the frame gets hit with any direct sunlight with the top installed so it's probably OK. any thoughts? I am not doing a restoration so semi-gloss vs satin vs flat doesn't bother me. I had considered powdercoating, but with all the moving parts and the thickness of powdercoat I was a little concerned that it may bind up after it was done, so I thought POR15 might be a good alternative.
