I want to paint my frame on my 96 2 door Tahoe just to keep it nice through the years. How many people have done this to their Tahoe? (2 door or 4 door) How long did it take you and about how much to do it? What kind of paint should I use? Thank you!

I just sanded mine down and put a few coats of high heat gloss black enamel. I did all the fender wells, the frame, and the rear drums. I haven't had a problem and it's been quite well over a year.

Im going to get the 3m underbody paint and use a wire brush. I wasnt sure who made the best underbody paint. I think that it will deffinitally look a lot better when its all painted black and will preserve the frame for years. Pics of it already done would be awsome!
