I had a question hope someone helps me out. I was buying more product for my project and the Paint shop recommend Chassis Saver . Has anyone deal with it.
chassis saver is awesome. u can paint it right over rust and it dries hard as a rock. just remember it is designed as a primer NOT a topcoat. so it will fade and get chalky looking over time if exposed to sunlight. POR15 is the same thing too.

here is the piece I'm giving to my friend to duplicate while I work on the rust in my car so it can be ready when he is done , hopefully he dont finish fast like he always does. This will be my first resturation project and I wont give up Im tacking the worst first the rest is Alot more simpler and not as much RUST like in this area,


Got it cleaned up and Sprayed rattle can primer until im ready with all parts then Im going to use
POR15
