Chassis paint

[MK INDY]

Just about to order some Por 15 chassis paint, but do I order silver or grey?, I thought all the Chimaera chassis were grey, but then thought it could be faded silver, what have you guys used?

Mines a Griff, but as the chassis are more or less identical.....the plastic coating on mine is grey, with a silver paint finish over the top - and ten years worth of bloody waxoyl !!!

Ive ordered grey POR15 and intend to overcoat it with a couple (at least) of coats of smooth silver hammerite.

Hope this helps.
Cheers

you would be better of sticking to a por 15 topcoat if they do one, hammerite may not bond to it and you wouldnt want it peeling off after working so hard on it!

Yeah, that wouldnt be a very satisfactory result. I thought that POR said thatany paint wuold overcoat it but will have to check their info on the website again.

Ta for the heads up though.
