Magnet Paint & Shellac UCP99-01 Chassis Saver Paint Gloss Black, 1 Gallon Can

Did not like being rolled on, did not try to spray as its rather nasty stuff chemically and aerosolizing it seemed like something you do when you must vs to the bottom of a service body as part of a bed swap. Brushing worked the best. Should have read a little more before purchase, because the aluminum version is not just color or metallic paint but literally contains 2Lb of aluminum powder per gallon, which helps fill small pits etc. and would have been my base coat on the top side of the bed. I’ve ordered some to use as the base coat for the frame of the truck the service body will sit on, but know I will have to brush it on or use a large orifice in my sprayer because of the Aluminum powder. I am very satisfied with the gloss black. It’s almost ceramic hard once it’s dry, but you have to use a brush and have to keep the applied material in very thin coats. Globbing this stuff on will only cause micro bubbles as it cures which can allow air and moisture in and they don’t sand out well. I used 3 coats and then top coated because I got some runs and globs in a few corners and behind hangers, etc. I figure that if 2 coats in minimum then 3 is better and will fill in any little micro bubbles and while I used as an undercoating to my service body, a top coat of gloss black oil base enamel couldn’t hurt. You won’t need any thinner unless you want to spray it and you must use xylene or their brand of thinner not lawyer or paint thinner. Also a RESPIRATOR!!!!! This will not give you cancer if you expose yourself to a toxic amount of vapors. It will kill you or give you brain damage rather quickly. Paint with brush in well ventilated area (outside with a breeze) or use a damn respirator. NOT A DUST MASK, Must be respirator good for organic vapor. Once you’ve opened your can and are done for the day, putting a light float of xylene in the can before you close it will keep it from skinning over and you just mix in before you use next time. Do not mix in immediately or you defeat the purpose of the float. Also use plastic wrap/bag/something between the paint can lid and paint can if you spliiled any in the little groove of the can. It will weld lid to can otherwise. This stuff does not sand easily. It does scuff easily for multiple coats, but you won’t want to try to feather it or bring back to bare metal once cured. TRUST ME ON THIS.

Great stuff for rusty metal. We use on our dump trailers that have many miles and years on them. But you will need to coat with a top coat of some kind. POR15 or industrial/farm implement paint, many different brands available. TSC sells some at good prices. That's if you want deep black finish to last. Over time, the sunlight fades Chassis Saver to a gray color. Still holds up nice, but sun fade. Tried painting inside of dump, but that was a waste of time and money. Shingles just ripped paint right off when dumped. Exterior looks great still and rust free. We rolled on and used brushes for tight spots. Thought about spraying, but you lose paint from overspray, plus it would need thinning to pass through a gun. So two thumbs up on this paint! Update 08-31-20 Well 3/4 of the way through our busy season with roofing and no signs of rust to date. We have newer trailers we purchased after painting a couple of trailers with Chassis Saver, and the new trailers have more rust than the painted trailers. Chassis Saver with topcoat applied trailers are holding up superbly! Not as shiny as the new trailers, but no rust either!! Really is a good quality paint for rusted metal. Two thumbs up on Chassis Saver.👍👍

This stuff goes on smoothly but is easy to over apply and then it looks slightly messy. It tends to smooth itself out so no small streaks, just large runs. And you don't see the brush strokes, which is kinda cool. Don't use directly out of the can as it will dry out. Don't pour too much into your container as that will start to dry out and cause large runs (using a plastic container worked very well for me). Using a brush is hard to get into some smaller areas, especially inside tubing, but it coats really well. Another reviewer said that if you seal your can while product is around the lip, it could be VERY difficult to open the can again, so watch out for that. A couple of paper towels on hand when you open the can is helpful to prevent this. Buy a number of cheap brushes as you will not be able to reuse them after use. I used one brush for each pour into my plastic container, so judge your needs based on how large a project you have and how long it will take you to paint it.

Great stuff I bought it before and can had damaged both times. The first time was just a couple dings, but this time it was really dented top bottom and sides.

I used this on my ford ranger. The frame was very rusty. I removed the flaky loose rust with a wire wheel, and didn't remove the surface rust (per instructions). I applied the 1st coat with a brush because I had forgotten how much I hate painting above my head lol. The 2nd coat I sprayed. Lots of runs & drips but that's my fault. The coating is very hard yet flexible. 1 gallon covered my 2000 ranger frame, springs, spare wheel mount etc. With 2 coats. I had done a few test pieces and noticed that the paint really coats rusty metal very well. DO NOT GET IT ON YOUR SKIN. If you do, wash it off with acetone NOT WATER immediately or wear it for a month. Same goes for your sprayer: acetone, not water. Don't bother prying the lid off. It's glued on and you don't want to open it anyway. Punch one hole to pour / stir and one hole to vent. I stuck a bent rod in the hole and stirred with a drill. When done, cover holes with foil tape. I used a $25 harbor freight electric paint gun. I was very pleasantly surprised at how well this worked. Used a .03 tip (supplied) and diluted with about 2 - 5% acetone. I did not test spray the undiluted paint fyi. Edit: you're not supposed to dilute it w acetone. But use it to clean up.

Heavy Duty Coating. Coated my rusty floors twice. Has a high gloss finish. Very sticky. If you get it on your hands it has to wear off with time.

Be careful to use thin coat otherwise you may get bubbles. Also, always wear gloves as this stuff is hard to get off skin.

Good quality applies evenly if you follow directions
