I am trying to find out if this is any good for my chassis?
Seeing that the MotaLeira will have an exposed chassis and my work will be on view.
They sell it on ebay here
Also, any idea about the quantity required? It is just for the chassis and no panels.
Cheers Martin

No experience with that particular paint, but have you looked at the Jotun marine paints?

Some of the paint they use to paint the oil rigs with is quite impressive...I used some recently to paint a wooden hovercraft hull...(although its designed for steel)..

The stuff I used was called "jotun hard top flexi", and was a 2 pack paint that when dried had a texture like hard rubber....it refused to crack when the hull bent, it just bends with it..

I know they do a range of less flexible paints that are designed for extreme environments...worth a look?

Reading a few write ups on the web, I have ordered 5 ltrs. Cost £108 delivered.
It is suposed not to crack etc or suffer damage from road salts or battery acid!
