I've got a galvanised chassis and just wondering whats the best paint for it as currently my car is stripped down. Any ideas or is good old hammerite?

Thanks

Hammerite used to be a good paint back in the 60's and has sunk to a poor brittle shadow of what it was and in my opinion useless for a chassis because it chips so easily.
Good old gloss paint over an undercoat takes some beating.

Frost.co.uk Chassis Black would be my choice.
They do their standard or extreme (for which you pay more).
Extreme


Do not use Hammerite.

If it's been galvanized fairly recently you will need to use an etch primer to get anything to stick to it.
