    My 3 series project

    I used hammerite primer yes ... Paint it with one coat straight from the blasters...it will rust at the first sniff of moisture if left even a couple of days . They may prime it for you for more money...I had a whole chassis done for 50 quid.

    first things first...worry about bodywork & paint way after the chassis and engine. If you can afford to galv...do it...defo shot blast it first however you finish it.A professional will get a better finish than the best home effort will ever manage. If you dont galv...bury the inside of the...
