I am thinking about getting this paint for the Chassis and other components such as steering shaft, suspension arms, pedals, uprights, brakes etc. Has anyone used this before or can provide a better recommendation?

I am thinking about the Blue for the frame and the Red for all the other parts. Then eventually do Union Jack design on the aluminum panels with vinyl.

Bedliner paint should wear like iron but may be tricky to apply so that it looks good and it will definitely hide any frame cracking until major failure. It makes good roof repairs!

Interesting, I have ordered a free sample, I really like the hard wearing but my be a problem not being able to inspect the welds after all this is my first welding project. I will try out the sample on some of the spare components that I have and see how it looks. Maybe I should go with the textured finish to hide imperfections in the finish (or just add sand and do it myself).
