More Chassis Paint

After the acid-etch primer has been applied, we then apply a coat of high-build primer. There's still hours and hours of work to do to the chassis in detailing it.


 You can see the underside of the chassis starting to look better now that it has some paint on it.

The high-build primer will show up any imperfections in the metal that we can then deal with.



Once all the chassis has been covered in high-build primer, we can then start to flat back using wet-n-dry sanding papers. Then we will start to get the level of finish needed for the main primer to go on. There will be several more stages involved in this high-build primer phase which all have to be flatted back.


 Here you can see the weld join between the front and rear chassis rails. This is how the weld detail will look when finally painted.
