Anybody used Epoxy Mastic chassis paint? It's manufactured by Rustbuster www.rust.co.uk I sent for a brochure and it looks like good stuff, although a little expensive. Just wondered if anybody had used it, and how it measured up and compared to Hammerite. I have been told that Hammerite is vulnerable to stone chips and such like, is this right?

All advice welcome,

Melvin

Don't know anything about "Rustbuster", but on Hammerite, the front wheel connecting rod on my Dellow
(Trials car/Mud plugger),has for a number of years been painted with Black smooth Hammerite, this is the lowest front part of the car, there is definatly no flaking but only very minor nicks that are only to be expected under the conditions the car is driven. If there were reports of flaking I would only assume like many things, if the preperation before application was not good you will pay for it in the end. Happy with Hammerite and not expensive.
