Chassis finish questions
I am in the process of sandblasting the bare frame of my 1975 - I have already decided to go with an epoxy primer and the Eastwood 2K Ceramic Chassis paint.
My questions for previous restorers - What would you recommend for the rest of the underbody?
I think I want to go with an Aluminum or Silver look on the differential, shafts and transmission.
Hi-Temp Red on the brake calipers.
Trailing arms, A-arms, etc....I Want a semi-gloss or satin black.
I have had good success with most items from Eastwoood - but what do you recommend for primers and paints on the rest of the items after they are blasted and ready?
Most restoration books say to go with a polyeurethane paint.
Just looking for anyone's personal opinions on what they like or have had good luck with?

Hi 75vM,
I'd look carefully at all the various paints Eastwood has for chassis and running gear finishes.
The other source I'd look at is SEM paints. You can google to see and download their catalogue.
People seem to have good success with paints from both those sources.
Good Luck!
Regards,
Alan
