Thread: Chassis prep and paint help

When I did my first chassis, I went to all the trouble in the world Fixing the chassis.

Second time around, I got the chassis sand-blasted, then etch primed it with Wattyl spray-on etch primer. The cans are a bit expensive, but in the end it only took about 3 cans at $12 each.

Following that, I brushed the lot with at least one coat of red oxide primer, White Knight from memory. I don't usually use White Knight, but their red oxide is good.

Following that it got 2 coats of Killrust black enamel.

It's been at least as durable as the POR-15 job, and a lot easier to put on.

I'm going to use Penetrol- it has long proven effectiveness, reasonably inexpensive and applicable for marine situations. It can be sprayed into cavities too. Then I'll just use some chassis black with penetrol added. http://floodaustralia.net/factfiles/penetrol.pdf
