I'd go light grey if was doing again, can see any grime to wash off and someone on here did the axels in it and it looked really good

havent thought about silver,looks nice.think if people looked under at the chassis like they always do would be a good wow factor in white,i dont want it to look tacky tho

Where do you live where people keep looking under the vehicle at your chassis? Lilliput?

Silver looks great. The only thing I would say, is that it may attract unwanted attention. My pal painted his new galvanised chassis black as soon as it was delivered -his thoughts being he didn't want to advertise the fact there was a perfect £2k chassis there with no VIN stamped on it...

Hi have a look on frost products. the p o r 15 on thier site but do follow the instructions and prepwork is the key. As a few people have not .and it peeled off. You have to rub it down then use thier cleaner its good.then thier metal prep and i used the direct to metal paint and then topcoat. And i gave it 2 coats of hammerite on top. . But dinitrol , waxoil is fine
