First think I'd put on a 'chasie' would be spellcheck.

Sprayed mine with smooth hammerite first then it's going to get waxolyed inside and out.

stripped mine and then painted it with Temaprime, a galv rich paint used for exposed steel etc
Then after getting to this stage...
I then sprayed it over with Gravelguard , a tough textured flexible finish....
Even removed and did the fuel tank etc as its such a bad mud trap...
Did the footwells and anything else that stayed in one place for too long
Hopefully the damn thing should last a year or two now
I did a previous chassis with hammerite.... what a terrible mistake, we have a lot of flint / stone lanes around here..
The hammerite chipped and came off leaving the chassis exposed in lots of places... looked superb before i seriously off roaded and laned it... however Id never use it again... however that is just my personal experience due to the conditions around here...
Cheers Steve

That's why stage 2 on my chassis is a libral coating of waxoyl.

yep did that but although waxoyl is good it wont creep and cover a 10p sized chip when on the outside, good inside the chassis though as long as you warm it a little to ensure a good coat on all four surfaces when spraying ... a bit easier than rolling the landy over to get a good internal coat
as I said just personal experience with the lanes round ere but i will never again touch it with a barge pole... overpriced... and overatedas for the gravelguard.. six months and a lot of serious abuse and its not even marked.... mud doesnt stick to it very easily which is a bonus.. washes off really easy.... and it was a lot less than what my hammerited rangey chassis cost.. compressor and a schutz gun gets in every nook cranny n pinhole perfectly...... much better than brushing as brushes are difficult to get into tight spots n pinholes...

Well as mine is still a rolling chassis for another week or so looks like I may have to go get some gravelguard and give it a once over then.

I'll wait till I strip the old truck to see the state of it before I make plans.
