Red oxide on chassis

First coat of red oxide paint has been applied to chassis, it makes it look quite fresh now. It certainly makes a change not to see rust... another coat next week, maybe a top coat of Ruby Red!

Chassis washed down and POR'd

I used metal ready prep on the chassis, then washed it down. The next step was to POR 15 it which gives a very hard surface and is now ready to undercoat.






I have started to shotblast parts and red oxide them... I gave one part a quick coat of Ruby Red top coat to see what it looked like. The chassis and most parts will be this colour with the remaining parts powder coated in satin silver. I will gradually build up over the winter months, finishing up with a rolling chassis.
