[Fot] chassis paint

[Greg Blake]

I use transstar epoxy for paint jobs that start on bare metal. It’s a very hard and durable DTM. It can chip like any paint. 

On a street car, I top coat it with a stone chip material in wheel wells then shoot that with BC/CC of choice. It will also chip though just a softer finish that will kinda deflect the small stuff w/o chipping. 

So for simplicity on a race car frame just use the epoxy and leave it. Touch it up after a few years of chips.

There is one in the UK that is silver but I don't think I want to deal with trying to get it here. Any suggestions for possible finding a tintable chip resistant chassis paint?
