Chassis Coating

[214Chevy]

I have a question that is slightly off topic. First, let me say I prefer powdercoat myself. I too, will powdercoat everything I can...i.e., frame, control arms, brackets, rear end, etc. Now, the question I have is...other than powder, paint and POR, what in the hell is the "other" option that some of the guys are voting for? Didn't know there was anything else you could do other than the three aforementioned choices.

For other, I was thinking some sort of plating (chrome, nickle, etc.), aluminizing, or some other similar process.

As well, I suppose you could wrap it in Kevlar.

Bottom-line is that you are only limited by your imagination and pocket book.

My plan is to prime the frame with epoxy primer after cleaning to bare metal then spray with the Eastwood 2k Ceramic Chassis Black. I am going to use gloss black. All components like rear axle and suspension arms, a-arms, spindles, steering components, tranny cross member etc. are getting powder coated.

Ohhhh, okay. I didn't think of that. Totally blew my mind. I had tunnel vision, because not many muscle car guys chrome their frames. I would think more of low riders doing that kind of stuff.
