Product Information
Full details
This Eastwood Original Chassis Paint is designed for automotive enthusiasts and DIYers looking to protect and enhance vehicle underbodies, axles, and suspension components. Its key benefit is providing durable, corrosion, chip, and scratch resistance that also withstands high temperatures and automotive fluids. A minor caveat is the recommendation to use Eastwood primer first, as application over etch primer is not advised. Key features include high coverage, resistance to heat and chemicals, and a satin finish that matches original equipment manufacturer (OEM) aesthetics.

FAQs
What is the best way to prepare the surface before painting?
The surface must be clean, dry, and free from all contaminants such as oil, grease, and rust. For optimal adhesion and corrosion resistance, applying a compatible Eastwood primer is recommended. Ensure you do not apply over etch primer.
How much area can one can of Eastwood Chassis Black cover?
One 397ml aerosol can provides coverage for up to 8 square feet. This offers significantly more coverage compared to many other aerosol paints of a similar size.
Can this paint be used on engine components?
Yes, the paint is designed to withstand temperatures up to 300°F and resists fuel, oil, and solvents, making it suitable for various underbody and engine bay components that do not exceed this temperature threshold.
What is the difference between satin and gloss black finishes?
The satin black finish is specifically formulated to closely match the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) finish found on most chassis and suspension parts. The gloss black variant offers a shinier, more reflective appearance.
How long does it take for the paint to fully cure?
While the paint may be dry to the touch relatively quickly, full cure times depend on temperature and humidity. It's best to consult the product's technical data sheet for specific cure times before exposing it to harsh conditions or heavy use.
Is this paint suitable for interior metal surfaces?
This paint is primarily designed for automotive underbodies and components exposed to harsh elements. For interior metal, consider a paint specifically formulated for interior applications, though this product would offer durable protection if exposed to similar environmental factors.
Troubleshooting
Uneven spray pattern or spitting
Ensure the can is held at the correct distance (8-12 inches) and moved at a consistent speed. Shake the can more frequently during use. Clean the spray nozzle by inverting the can and spraying for 2-3 seconds after each use.
Paint not adhering to the surface
Verify the surface was properly cleaned and prepared. Ensure no oil, grease, or contaminants remain. Confirm that a compatible primer was used, or that the bare metal was adequately prepped. Avoid painting over etch primer.
Runs or drips in the paint finish
Apply paint in thin, even coats rather than one heavy coat. Maintain a consistent spraying distance and speed. Allow adequate flash time between coats if necessary.
Aerosol can not spraying
Check if the nozzle is clogged. Clean with a solvent like lacquer thinner. If the can is warm, let it cool. Ensure the nozzle is properly seated on the valve.
