What Colour Is Your Chassis
Hello All
Just looking at powder coating my R1ot chassis and was wanting to know what the most popular colour choice is.
Thanks

Jason, mine is as bought i.e. Black.
The raceteams in the early years used to paint their chassis light Blue as they reckoned any cracks or splits (heaven forbid) showed up as Grey or
Black lines!
Cheers, Pewe

How much is it to powder coat a chassis?
I got a really good deal today on another way of coating the chassis that i am considering when i build it.

Highly unimaginative satin black! I didn't want it powdercoated but the one that they had was already coated so I got it at no extra charge

Unimaginative Black for me, but I having seen Alan B's chasis in Gre(a)y I think that looks pretty smart.

Nato green 
For a racing car follow the professionals, light grey (gray), light blue or white enamel.
Shows any cracks, helps with locating oil leaks and it's much easier to see the mechanical bits in contrast.

Satin black here. Cellulose though cos don't like powder coating. Advantage of black is that can completely change body colour at a later date
and it will still look ok. Paint the chassis Kawasaki green for example and ur stuck with having the whole car that colour. Not that that's
necessarily a bad thing as long as u don't have a Kawasaki engine under the bonnet as well.
