ianc Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 When 4VC was rebuilt in 1990-1993, Revington applied Corroless to the chassis. Because the Works always used white paint on the chassis in order more easily to spot cracks and damage, white Corroless was used. It has stood up to 28 years of use very well indeed, seeming to resist damage from flying stones and abrasion from branches and other rubbish. When - occasionally - I wash off accumulated oily and road muck from the chassis, it comes up almost as good as new, especially if I use some paraffin or petrol to finish the job. I believe Corroless is a 2-part process, but have not investigated. Ian Cornish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stillp Posted January 15, 2022 Report Share Posted January 15, 2022 I used Hermetite Engine Lacquer, which is oil-based, brushes well, and is much less brittle than the Hammerite that's often used. It's lasted very well since 1989. Pete Quote Link to post Share on other sites
qkingston Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 I used Frost's Chassis Black, brushes on really well and not brittle, very pleased with it David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ukmax Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) I used "Cobra",("Raptor" is another brand) which is a two-pack finish for pickup/ truck beds. Spray on with Schutz gun (good quality one with air control for best results) looks good, sets rock hard, doesn't chip. My son has used it in his business on dozens of Land Rover chassis without any problems. David Edited February 16, 2022 by Ukmax corrected typo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
