Bob!
Same here. My chassis is the same sunrise red from the rattle can. I went 2-tone with rustoleum wheel paint, silver and graphite, which had a lot if chip resistance already in it. I was just starting out so I thought it would be smarter to spend on safety gear and making the car run well. I like to keep it simple and only wish I had the real estate problem with too many sponsors on the car........ Lol
