Re: Looking for chassis paint
Interesting thoughts. If you look at a modern vehicle, many items on the undercarriage are unfinished too, -or at minimum have very thin coatings. Been that was for years I suppose.

My 28 Phaeton had oil and dirt covering much of the front crossmember, and I should have left it until I was ready to paint the whole frame. I cleaned it with gas, and where the metal was bare it got a light coating of rust within a year. |

Re: Looking for chassis paint
Has anyone used KBS RustSeal on their frame? I carefully followed their instructions but still had problems with what looked like just or sand in the paint. They told me it was solvent evaporating and to put it on thinner. That did not work either. Brushed thin coats, it popped solvent and left brush marks. Brushed it on heavy, it flowed out nicely and left more solvent popping.
Any ideas? The KBS instructions say thinning is not generally required and they do not include thinner in the kit that contains a soap solution for cleaning and a surface prep/acid etch/rust removal in addition to the paint. |

Re: Looking for chassis paint
Like any paint, hard to match up existing colors...
