Thanks guys for all the positive comments! So I just sprayed my chassis with some etching primer along with my body and I should have a coat of paint on both in about an hour.

| Hey Blakeski for the color I sprayed on several coats of metallic blue with three coats of clear and some flat black paint for the chassis. I still have to epoxy my front grill, installe light buckets and lens and the windows. Let me know what you guys think of the color choice.
