This is one of the better chassis paints I have used. Will buy again

I'm not sure how long this will do it's job I've only had it on for 3 months but it looks the same so far. It goes on good with a bristle brush. I believe the directions said to use foam brushes. They are crap and fall apart immediately, I use the cheapest bristle brushes and they last and apply the paint good. I do use a bit of thinner in it, I use xylene solvent as recommended by chassis saver or you can use their own reducer. You can reduce with 10 percent reducer I believe and it is enough for the paint to flow out without brush marks in it. Also it is good to have one of these thinners on hand for spills and if you get the paint on your skin there is no way of getting it off without it. While I normally wouldn't tell someone to put solvents on your skin it might be an option if you don't want to wear this paint for weeks while it wears off. Oh and try to make sure the surface your putting it on is clean and free of oils,gas,grease etc. you might get some "fish eyes" when it's curing. I did in one spot.

This seems to be a fantastic product so far, and seems to go a long way, with respect to coverage. It applies nicely with a brush, and flows into a smooth finish. It was supposed to be satin, though it resembles high-gloss; I can live with that. I would highly recommend this product, though a few words to the wise: 1.) Be fully prepared with rubber gloves, mask for fumes, rags, reducer or mineral spirits, etc. before working with this stuff; it is unforgiving. If you track it in the house, you will be buying your wife new carpet. 2.) When done, thoroughly clean the can groove and lid before putting the lid back on, or don't plan on getting it off easily, if at all. I ended up putting mine in a sturdy plastic container. 3.) It seems to coat well over (properly prepared) rusty surfaces, though when applying it to cleaner metal, it covered better if the metal was primed first. Upon reuse, you may find that a thin coat has dried on the top. I accepted that as normal, and just skimmed it off.

I was confused at first, however happy there are individual quarts. This way I won't be able to waste a gallon if I don't use it all! I've used this over bare metal and slightly rusty metal. Found a FOAM Brush is the way to go vs regular paint brush.

I bought this because I had replaced my fuel pump on my truck. The frame and bottom of bed were rusty but nothing crazy like I've seen some pictures of people's swiss cheese...Like anything I believe a lot of my work was prep. Wirebrushing the rust scale off, then degreasing it, and washing it...etc.

I have before and after pictures of the rust and current state of the paint curing. They state on the directions that it takes about 72 hours to fully cure. I purchased a gallon and thought it would not be enough. I was very wrong. I STILL have a 1/4 of a gallon left and I did 3 coats on the entire underside of the bed, and the entire frame. I choose the satin black over the gloss black. I didn't want my frame shiny. When you first use this you will think this is gloss... it will dry more of a satin finish but still have a little shine to it.

Time is way too soon to tell on how long or if this will actually last. I will update accordingly. Paint was easy to apply and self levels itself. Wear gloves and old clothing when using this stuff. I got this on my skin because I was wearing a t-shirt and days later it is STILL on my skin after multiple showers/scrubbing. It doesn't want to come off. It also has a strong smell. My wife could smell this through out the entire house for about a day. Make sure if you can to have the garage door open so that air can get in and dissipate the smell of the paint.
