Chassis Painting

Epoxy Mastic 121

Rust buster do a starter pack for £25 or a chassis pack for £45.
Anyone know if the starter pack is gloss or matt and anyone used it to paint their chassis with a roller.brush, is there enough paint in the starter pack to complete the whole chassis? I was going to spray but think I'll save a few £'s this way and if the results are still good I'll be happy.

Can't answer either questions but I was going to buy the 2l black pack. It actually costs £63 after delivery and vat. Nearly bought it online on Monday then noticed the webpage wasnt secure.
I recall bonzo using it on his wishbones using a small foam roller.

Just bought the 2L pack, not quite ready to use it yet.

Here is an info sheet I found on their website.

Also the website Is secure but doesn't show in firefox (strange)!

This stuff is avaiable on ebay if you want secure, I found it by doing a search on Epoxy Mastic. Looks like good stuff, I have used VHT to do my wishbones, and the results are good, but following the instructions it doesn't go very far.

I will be getting some of this stuff to do the rest of the chassis in.

Just a quick update from me, re this stuff.

I have used it paint my chassis, the finish looks ok (even accounting for my (lack) of painting skills), I used a foam roller to do the floor and a brush to do the chassis tubes, I found that the roller was breaking up fairly quickly.

The 10m2 chassis pack is the one I have used, and still have some over.

If you a skilled at spraying I think it would look easily as good as powder coating.
