Chassis paint
Popped to an auto paint supplier on the way home from work to get some POR-15 Chassis paint but he didn't have any only Tetrasyl Chassis Paint... anyone ever used it? If so how did you get on?
I thought it wasn't a bad deal at £38 for 5 litres Rapid |

At that price it sounds like its what we call chassis black, if it is pass up on it because its a bit soft and takes an age to fully harden. You just cant beat 2k imho.

chassis black is what i used it is ment to stay slightly soft thats how it doesen chip! its a paint that is designed to be used on chassis's and underframe parts getting batterd by grit and dirt
i gave a ring to my old paint supplier to see if i could get whats best for the job and was pointed to hum drum chassis black and the bloke giggled and said i could have some free if i paid for postage of a 45gal drum ! tuned out cheaper to buy a 5l tin still have half left |

POR 15 is good and goes a long way,I used the six can kit and it stands outside all day for the past 18 months or so and no rust under the primer coat.

hmm... I bought a tin so I'll give it a go, one of the guys in work used it on his landy about 12M ago and he thrashes it greenlaning and swears by the stuff...
Well I guess this is what building a car is all about trying new stuff and giving it a go.... (that's just me trying to convince myself it will work ) I'll paint some on this week and report back my findings. I'm expecting a 1-2 week cure so don't hold your breath for results straight away but I'll let you know Rapid |

On a +ve note... got my fuel tank fabricated this week ... custom designed fabbed in 3mm aluminium (that's all the bloke could get his hands on) for material and labour (with swirl pot a s well) £70.
Can't complain, the guy did a great job and picking it up Monday I think that's a nice little deal |
