Has Anyone Tried Eastwood's Extreme Chassis Black?

[Bingster]

I've been spraying my car parts with Eastwood's Extreme Chassis Black.  Since I have not put the car to the test yet, I'm wondering if I'm wasting my time.  Anybody try it?  Does it hold up?

I have used it in the past as some was given to me..personally it is ok for a small part here or a small part there but for overall larger jobs like complete chassis, axles and such..I still prefer to mix and spray my own and add hardener...I am not sure what brand paint this is...it is only a relabeled product if like all the rest of their stuff...and often at a bit inflated price...I think you can do just as well with any high quality black paint from the big box store or Lowes etc....this is just my opinion..

So what brand do you use?

I used it on all my chassis parts and frame in my 50 wagon. I even did the interior parts with it like dash and window trim. I used the satin finish and it looks great. Does it hold up like a 2 part epoxy.........I'd say no.............but.do you need it to?

It is a good paint and I have had good luck with it every time I used it. If you are building an off road vehicle and don't want scratches, then I'd use an epoxy. If you are wanting a good and basically strong bonding paint that looks good, then I would use Eastwoods.

 It says you can spray directly over bare metal. I never do that and I always put a primer down first then use the black.

Thanks for that info. Mine will be a driver and I'm not doing a frame up.

I've had good luck with Hirsch Chassis Black.

I used rustoleum professional grade primer and black.  Seems to do a good job.  We'll see when I get it on the road.

A quality Rusto( alkyd) primer and topcoat, reduced with automotive grade reducer, and hardener added to the topcoat. This isa very economical and decent way to do the job. Tim Adams got me started on this, and it works well, f your not ina hurry, the primer once cured can be topcoated with just about anything, including 2 k urethane products, I know this, as I have done this.

Eastwoods, POR15 overpriced marketing hype, like snake oil treatments....

I got a two part epoxy satin black. Nobody is going to see the under side but myself.  These weren't painted so well when new.  This paint is not used for a P15 but a Datsun pickup truck.   If it weren't south Texas it would have rusted into dust by now.  I figure it'll be good for another 40 years.
