Chassis Semi-Gloss Recommendations

[Motorhead848]

Do they give full deduction points wise for using powder coat? It sure is nice and easy to mess with the sheens….

Underfloor was done with SPI (Southern Polyurethane Inc) Black Epoxy
Notice the Sheen (Not Gloss by Semi Gloss)

Firewall Was Top Coated with DELFLEET Essential Single Stage Polyurethane mixed to the semi Gloss Formula

The GM #1050104 Chassis reconditioning paint is still available from several of the the specialty parts houses. Not sure if it is still the same formula as originally (or if available in gallons) but back in the day (mid to late 80's) at the Corvette restoration shop I worked at we used it extensively and even had a small-ish dip tank we used for brackets and accessories when restoring them. This was when people were just starting to understand the factory process for painting things and the restoration houses were trying to duplicate those processes - flaws and all.

In regards to Chuck's question about durability - probably not even close to modern paint technologies available today. Back then we'd use Sikkens Rally Black or DuPont Imron with a flattener if you wanted something more durable.

MY above SPI underfloor not only looks GOOD but is catalized 2k EPOXY......What's the Quality of YOUR suggestion ????

PPG Delfleet Essential is a Single Stage Catalized BLACK that you can formulate to various shades...................
