Paint for chassis & underbody?
Permalink  
 

Wondering what everyone uses for painting their frames, undersides of floors, wheel wells, under the hood etc. I know some guys like term clad semi-gloss black for truck frames but wondering what everyone else likes for these areas. I'm talking about a "driver" application, not a show piece.

some builders use  box liner (like Rhino liner) for wheel wells and underbody  

 some use POR15  and  trailer chassis paint

Personally...I would use an epoxy based product. semi gloss finnish, durable, easy to spray, no Isocyanates, no need for a primer. something like POR 15 or other products..I spray Mining equipment and the majority of our stuff is epoxy based products & lasts for years

I always shoot them with epoxy primer and then I use a good quality bed liner over the primer and then top coat it with the color of choice

         I like Tremclad    actually  all the suggestions are good    

         Most cars/trucks are cleaned up and painted with "something' and never driven in foul conditions...    

         sorta like headers...  my cheapie steel headers. painted black. and installed in 1991 are still like new......
