Painting one's own chassis is a task best suited for the young and limber. Now that I have surpassed 60 birthdays, I always recommend powder coating to anyone wanting ME to paint a bare chassis.

Once a person has painted a chassis the decision to attempt it again or pay for powder coating becomes much more transparent.

Other treatments applied to sprint cars include bare metal with or without WD-40 protection and gun metal blueing.

Tip: Do the underneath portion first by tipping the unit on it's side.
