Just bought a New galvanized 300 defender chassis. What colour looks best?

i think they look awful just in bare galv but its hard to get paint to stick sometimes. body coloured sounds rank too.

they need to 'weather' a bit before you paint them

You will need special paint  ;)

First wipe on Mordant Solution, then etch primer, Primer, then top coat  or it will just flake off

OR powder coat but it will have to be baked first to 'de gas' it

Back to the question BLACK..... classy but understated  ;)

I went for colour matched to body for the rear x member & front bumper, the rest left natural, gently faded galv.

I like the powder coating idea; having got the best make it look the part.

The powder coating will look good and give it loads of protection, with the galvanising if it gets chipped it will last forever.

 :oops: if the a girl drives it , black or stainless steel polished for a blokes motor  :twisted:

As-is, painting will only reduce the effectiveness.  Otherwise black waxoil.

we just left ours bare galv

Save some time & money and leave it as it is.

Close call between black and natural :lol:

Think it might be the easiest option and leave it as it is.

Cheers gents

Orange, then at least you can see when it needs washing, have a look underneath if it all looks dirty and black, whip out the pressure washer and get cleaning  ;)

I wonder if Hammerite would be tough enough :-k

I would go with either Silver or Black :)
