chassis paint?

Post by 88 stage1 »

I've just done some repairs on the chassis and removed some loose rust. Does anyone know of a good paint/rust treatment? cheers Chris

I have always found Hamerite to be very good, used it on numerous cars an other stuff in the past with good long lasting results.

Look at the Bilt Hamber and POR15 products, not a fan of hammerite.

Had a look on-line at these:

look very impressive going to order some and give them a go myself.

a very comprehensive range of products, any that you can give personal recommendation to sebking?

I've seen the Dynax S50 used before and was very impressed.

Por15 system is good,
I normaly use a zinc based anti corrosion primer follorwed by a chassis paint such as frosts chassis black, then waxoyle it all
on occasions ive used marine container paint, strait onto the metal...that stuff takes some aggression to shift, and the metal was still shiney under it...but then if ic can cope with sea water our roads shouldn't be much of a challenge

Bilt Hamber`s hydrate 80 looks worth a try. Then a top coat of chassis black.
