Need to get a new galvanised chassis very soon. My question is I purchased some Lanoguard before I realised I needed a new chassis, now I need chassis do I use the Lanoguard on inside and outside and paint the chassis black?

I would still paint it. New galv chassis and a coupla layers of good quality paint is only going to be a good thing. Did mine that way. Backed up high impact areas with some stone chip and raptor in other places. Good luck.

Before fitting it I would use a good cavity wax inside. I would probably paint it black then give it a wax coating, Bilt Hamber or something.

Paint it black so as not to advertise it ia s new shiny galved one.

Always painted mine black after a coat of mordant T wash, or whatever it's called.
Don't go wild with the T wash, it strips off a layer of zinc

T wash and stone chip is the way I went as it's nice and easy to apply

Do as much as possible. There is no way you can do to much to rust proof a chassis. Galv, then primer, then top coat, then wax inside and out.

There isn't anyone who knows more about keeping metal intact in seawater than MG Duff. They started Zinga, and I used their
Tarfree after T-Wash. It's a single pack PU and very tough. I then put on several coats of Zinga. Then a couple of satin black Tractor paint from Vapormatic. Five years on and then only damage is tow bar scratches - which are completely clear of rust. FYI both galvanising and Zinga work through cathodic protection, and the latter isn't really a a paint!
