chassis restoration.
« on: October 13, 2008, 07:12:23 am »
i am looking to do a restoration of the chassis and am overwhelmed by the amount of stuff thats out there. i am looking for a two or three step kit that has everything in it to help me get the job done. i want to degrease, seal rust, prime and paint. it does not have to be perfect and i am looking to do this only once. i would like some feed back on what people have used and how happy they were with the results. i have looked at eastwoods chassis black kit and there chassis 2k kit as well. also have heard about por-15 kits as well. any feed back?? thanks!

POR-15 works great and others here have tried chassis saver and liked that also.

I have used POR-15 on both of my vehicles, and I put chassis saver on my Crew Cab floor (it came in a pint).

Remove all easily removable parts. Needle scale the frame of all lose scaling rust. Paint with Chassis Saver. Top coat with a catalyzed acrylic enamel if you want.
