What paint would you use for subframe painting? Por15? Hammerite?

Hammerite is crap it cracks, flakes, chips. Got myself some chasis black from frost, good stuff, a little pricey though but worth it |

Cool.. Was also thinking about painting up the brake calipers and suspension arms, they are fairly chipped and marked. They are yellow and I'd like to keep em that colour... Any suggestions on what paint for that? |

Anyone recommending powder coating for chassis components has never seen a TVR chassis or lotus suspension arms where the powder coat has become damaged and lifted allowing water to track underneath it.

Hi elfturbo, please expain about por15, as I have good experiences till now! I used that stuff many times for other kinds of components, always respected the steps of preparation, key to optimum adhesion. Let me emphasize I am not promoting por15 now, I just want to know under which circumstances were your experiences. Thanks! |
