I sprayed the frame using PPG Omni MTK single stage urethane, flattened with 1/3rd PPG One Choice matting agent, and reduced 10%. Sprays very well and covered great since it was going over the black epoxy. Nibbing the Epoxy made the paint lay down much smoother- as you can see in the "wet paint" pics.
Straight out of the gun-
Starting to flatten out.

Thanks guys, I'll work on getting the thread up to date so you can see the where we are now. The frame is rolling and the running gear is nearly finished.

I picked up some "EZ-Slide" graphite based lubricant paint for the leaf springs, I found it at Tractor Supply. Should let the springs move easier so it rides better. Also picked up some model paint for the paint marking on the transmission.
Lightly washed the trans to document the paint dabs.
Yellow "6Y"
Orange along the edge.
This one showed faint traces of orange paint.
Outlined to see it better.
Another orange spot.
Blue spot.
Two yellow dabs.
Another yellow spot.
