Shain,
Been there, done that. We Rhino Coated one frame and it turned out very 
nice. A couple of things you need to watch out for, this stuff goes on pretty 
thick - 1/8 to 1/4" or so. You will need to either mask off or remove the 
coating from some surfaces where you can't have this thickness, like the 
engine and tranny mounts, suspension pick up points, electrical grounds and 
such. You will also need to re-tap all the threaded holes in the frame to 
accept bolts. The one other thing you need to be aware of is this coating 
will burn. You need to make sure you don't have any hot parts, like the 
exhaust system, close to the coated frame. Personally, I still think POR-15 
is the best coating method currently available for the Delorean frame. But 
that is just my opinion.
