Protecting outrigger tops with rubberised stone chip paint

[jazzdude]

In the process of cleaning and repainting my chassis and have decided that as we dont have salt on the roads out here to not put any wax on my newly painted chassis. We do, though have a lot of dust and grit, especially at the side of the road.

Even though I think the paint I am using is going to be very tough, for piece of mind I would like to add some more protection to just the outriggers, especially at the front and on top of the plates.

Would a rubberised stone chip paint be good for this on top of the primer + 2 coats Rustoleum? I really want to avoid having a soft, gooey wax in there if I can help it.

That's exactly what I want to do.

I'm just talking about an extra bit of protection between the body and the outriggers for peace of mind.

I have seen those in the various forms and am tempted to make something using galvanized sheeting.

Do you think these protectors take out the need for further protection coatings on the tubes?

I'll be starting a body off in the coming month & I intend to do something similar. There is someone selling pre-made ones on PH. (They are nothing to do with me) If you look on PH under this http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/parts-and-p... I'm sure you'll see it eventually

They look good but £90 a pair?
