Paints for Roll Cage and Chassis

Have a look for videos of U-Pol Raptor, its had good feedback from what ive heard

U-Pol Raptor can be painted smooth and tinted to any colour you want.

To be fair U-pol did answer but did not come up with a good alternative to POR15. I would like to find out if the Eastwood Chassis paint is as good, I emailed frost and they recommended it but I would like to try a bit first ( they don't sell small pots to test) POR15 painted on with a brush was very impressive.

I've been using POR-15 for a while now. From what I understand it's no longer at the cutting edge of chassis paints, but is still plenty serviceable. I hear a lot of very good things about Bilt Hamber Epoxy Mastic, which I gather is the current favourite.

Some tips I've found for working with POR-15. It really doesn't tolerate any remaining grease or oils at all, so make sure you get your part really well degreased beforehand. It also tends to have better coverage after it's spet a little time open to the air, but does tend to go off in the pot quite readily once opened so there's a fine window between it being at its best and it not being usable (it's still good from the get go, but is noticeably nicer to work with once it's gone off a bit).

I can't say anything about long-term survivability in my experience as nothing I've painted has led a hard enough life yet to find out. I do imagine it would function a little like powder-coating, with rust creeping under the tough outer skin of paint and you not really being able to see how far it's progressed from the outside. A check with a magnet or a firm prod every couple of years is probably a good idea.

cant help with the paint side of things but wouldlove tosee a pic of the beast getting painted
