Any suggestions on best protective paint to use on Vitesse chassis and and underside of the body. Thanks

Rustbuster Epoxy Mastic EM121 paint gets very good reviews with Practical Classics mag. On that basis I've bought some - not had time to apply yet.

My local wholesale shop had 250ml of 151 Red Oxide and 151 Grey Primer for £1.50 a tin. Cleaned up the panels and rust treated surface rust then allied two coats of Red Oxide with two coats of Grey Primer with a brush and rolled off with textured roller. Then I applied some spare cellulose paint I had to match the main body. It took well and looked well.

Totally appreciate its not to everyone's taste but it went on well and looked good for me whilst protecting that precious metal 👍 I figured at that price I can see how it goes and re-apply if ever needed but its still looking fresh after 14 months.

I've used 151 products often, including paint/varnish etc. Seems good and also cheap
