Chassis - powdercoat or stove enamel?
Well just stripped the FF down to a total bare chassis - absolutely perfect with minor superficial surface rust in a few places - was going to powdercoat it but a friend who races a historic F3 advises against this and tells me to stove enamel it - has anyone got views one way or another?

We always powdercoat our chassis as it is harder-wearing. However, if it's a historic Formula Ford, stove enameling would be more 'period correct'.

Check out some of the aircraft grade metal primers, then powder coat.
