I looking repaint my chassis over the winter .. But don't want to spray it on as 70% ends up on the floor or my shine new parts
What would be the best brush on paint
Would this be ok or is this to expensive and is there something just as good but cheaper

Don't use Hammerite its to brittle and chips
Frosts make a good paint for what you want
I cant remember the name but if you do a search you will find it

Is this the stuff

Some people have said use normal house gloss ??? I thought that would be brittle as we'll !?

£35.74 a litre is expensive tho and I'll need more than a litre !!!

Get some plant paint from your local agricultural suppliers, teamac paint is excellent, sticks to anything and is very durable.

Ive used Hempathane on mine, its used in extreme off shore environments. Got it from the local paint shop supplier.

NOT CHEAP (min quantity was 5l tins, DOH!) when you combine the correct primer, thinners and what not, but promises to be the best and works out no more than all the others....

Hi
I found the best to be BLACKFRIARS used it on the underside of our kit car
wrought iron gates , use an anti rust primer first & will last for years
wont chip under normal use , of course if you hit it hard enough.
Brewers & most DIY sell it & its reasonably priced, 1/2 ltrs & larger.
There is another which is heatproof for painting barbecue's
which is also very durable , both are eggshell finish similar to powder coating.
Good luck

Iv red oxided the hole chassis .. An I'm gonna paint it with
Normal black gloss as its strong durable and other people
Said it had worked a treat so off to the local DIY

Epoxy mastic is what i'll be using. very tough, brushes on fine, and dries to a pleasant satin.
Not too cheap though £100/5l although comes in 1l kits too

I personally know a guy at 'Galvanord'.
In germany (sorry)
They have a new micro zinc process.
Will only add 1 - 2% weight.
and wil last 35 years ^^
350€ it will set you back... :s incl etching your frame.
And you can get it in all RAL colours.

Some Morgan 3wheeler frames are been done, but BMW and Audi do all there
suspension this way... (the steel components)

The Hempathane works out at £10/L

5l of primer and 5l of top coat cost me £95, that included some rollers as well.

I always fear the oxidation you can't see, like inside the tubes...
In the past I've tried to coat the inside via a small perforated tube (spray piant)
with a great variation in protection as a result...
Anyone any ideas ?

Waggy,
Remember to drill some good size holes at all the junctions prior to tacking and welding up

so waxol?
Is it any good (like POR15 good?)
indeed leavid some holes will save you a massive headache later on

Waxol is great stuff, It really does work but it's dirty and messy.
