Just an update got the new chassis back yesterday and set it up ready for the paint system, it has had a zinc rich epoxy primer then high build primer and finally top coat with a high solids content, the system was developed in the north sea and is said to have a 20 year life span adding to this the fact it can be repaired or repainted makes it the ideal chassis covering.
