Chassis Coating
 

OK folks, here's your chance to vote. What chassis coating would you use?

1. Paint
2. POR-15 (kinda in a class all by it's lonesome)
3. Powder coat
4. Other (post your "other" thought).

:cheers:

Other than "possibly" due to cost (and often there is little difference there) there is really no debate. Other than for a pure isca indoor show car, powder is the only thing I will consider.

PowderCoat :thumbsup:

I'd say powder coat as well. We had my Impala frame and the Fab9 for my wife's Camaro powder coated earlier this year and really liked the results.

Paint because there is no "Touch Up" for Powder coating

Bs.

Old wives tail. I've touched it up at least a dozen times on my current build. Only remotely true if it's some sort of wild color.

What did you use to touch it up?

Normal paint. On semi-gloss black powdercoated paint, just semi-gloss duplicolor worked perfectly. First touch up 2 years ago. Still perfect today.

Again, if it's a Ridler ISCA indoor show car then it's a different story. However if it's anything else, and in particular if it's one of the "normal" chassis colors (like gloss, semi-gloss or flat black, or silver) then I still scratch my head every time somebody says you can't touch up powdercoating. Heck, I've been touching it up on other stuff for at least 10 years. I don't get it.

Yea, but your dealing with a RACE car, not a normal street car! :D

It's a pretty shiny race car, though :)
