Chassis Colour?
 

What colour are you going to /have you painted your chassis?

thinking about doing my chassis in black, as it,ll contrast nicely with the body colour of tango orange.:)

I think that I might stick with Red :D :D

Well it is half painted and all that :eek: :o

I was thinking black, but it nt very original? Can't think of any other colour that would suit?

Grey is the best colour as in the even you smack it and say a joint lets go then it will show up better.

But black hides the dirt better......:)

What kind of paint would you recommend?

black you wont see it much once the car is done.

I will paint my chassi in silver, with red bodywork :)

i recomend using hammerite paint for the chassis, you can paint it straight onto rust & it will last a lifetime i have used it myself to paint some railings(outside) at my parents house more than 15 years ago & it still looks good today so i know it realy works . i think my chassis is going to be the hammered black.

I used hammerite with their primer as well, on my wishbones. A few coats of each were sprayed on. I dropped one of the wishbones about 2ft and a huge lump of hammerite flaked off:(

I am now using a paint called QD90. I explained to a local trade paint supplier what I wanted it for and he recommended it. White spirit is the solvent, not the silly expensive hammerite one.

It is a much more flexible paint - I beat a test piece up with a hammer and was quite impressed:D

Today is the first day in about 2 weeks ive done anything related to the car. I painted as many of the parts form the sierra as possible, incllusing all dirveshafts, hubs, calipers... I just finished wire brushing and cleaning the gearbox and started to paint it with hammerite, however........ it started raining:( , in the hope that the cloud would pass i kept painting in the rain, but about 15 min later, i was soaked, the paint on the gearbox was all messed up and theres water in my tub of hammerite:( For me so far hammerite has worked well, however i left my wishbones out in the rain for the past 2 weeks, and they have picked up 1 or 2 patches of rust in between the brush strokes of the paint, even though i gave them 2 coats of it, so a 3rd coat went on today as wel.
