Chassis paint

Post by excossack » Wed May 23, 2012 8:44 pm

I am planning on giving the chassis of the LR a painting. Starting off with angle grinder and wire cup followed by a wipe with panel wipe to remove any grease. The treat with Jenolite and top off with Zinc primer. Now i am not sure what paint to use as a topcoat. Ideally a paint I can apply with a brush
Chassis black?
Rustoleum ?
other suggestions please? And not Hammerite.
Regards.

thanks for the info. Must the coating be removed before painting with chassis black?
