Hi
What sort of paint should I use for my chassis S111 and what colour have you done your's?

Cheers
Robbo

Brains:
I have a galvanised one but originally i was going to paint mine YELLOW :!:  :D

This was because it makes it easier to spot any rust patches or holes on the chassis! (also because i like to be different!! :lol:)

SixPot:
If its a new galvanised one then I would opt for hammerite special metals primer followed by a topcoat of your favourite choice in black. I went for POR-15 chassis black myself and its come out ok but I should have sprayed the primer

On an older non-galv chassis its all about preperation. clean off any loose rust and degrease. make any weld repairs now then treat with a suitable rust treatment. The cheaper option would then be to go with red oxide primer followed by topcoat of hammerite smooth. If you're feeling flush then the POR-15 system is suppose to be pretty good but remember to follow the instructions to the letter and use the chassis black top coat as well.

In all cases I would go with BLACK.

Cheers
Ben
