Maybe they want you to change the frame because that is their position on heating. Someones opinion or experience on this site doesnt mean squat unless they are a metallurgist and have done testing on the effects of heat on HSS frame components. Just because something can be done does not mean something should be done.
Dodge does not recommend heating any HSS frame components.
Sounds like your an insurance adjuster trying to get out of indemnifying a customer for the proper repair of their vehicle. Pay up :whistle:oe info can be found through the links at http://www.oemonestop.com
Is it mild steel, hydroformed……
What does Dodge say about heating their frames?I like anything that Chip Foose uses

I appreciate the input.
Apparently Dupont rep’s are saying that you can use Urethane Reducer with Chromabase as long as its a non-metallic. If its a metallic you have to add activator.
Couple of posts for reference:

Not the 2 best sources that I would trust :whistle:
duponts basemaker is a parafin based reducer(thats why its cloudy looking) similar to Sherwin Williams. It helps with the stability of duponts base. using a uerthane base reducer is taking a chance
no mater what Barry or the 101 saysI’d be careful mixing spi reducer with that chromabase
[quote=”bloverby” post=21712]Well they will look fine in SS, but sometimes it’s just as cheap to do bc/cc and odds are you will shoot some in a metallic.
I’ve done a bunch of ’em and $300 is about as low as I’d want to do one a solid color.

I see a little distortion in those pix. Maybe you should sand and buff them :whistle:
SS is fine.
Do you have to do all the prep work too???like jayson said. Make sure that the side marked “this side up” or “paint this side” is actually facing up. otherwise you will have problems

Make me a pearl white in 2 stage :pcorn:
lot of epoxy on those. why not just put one coat of epoxy and some high build to level out the imperfections
