Painting the chassis

I've spent a good amount of time prepping the chassis so I wanted to use a good quality paint to protect it. 

After researching various types of paint, I settled on 2k. 

2k Is a paint that needs to be mixed with a hardener. Once it hardens it is much less susceptible to damage from chemicals, weather, or UV rays.

Its pretty dangerous stuff, if sprayed you need to use an air fed mask, and full protective suit. Even the best filter mask isn't enough to filter out isocyanates. 

As I wasn't bothered about the finish and just wanted durability I decided to brush paint it, which according to the HSE is perfectly safe. 

The primer is 2k OSCCAR 755






Top coat is 2k ARCRITE polyurethane
