Yes, you can use a number of coating options on the chassis including coatings to keep the natural aluminium appearance. These natural appearance coatings can even be applied/re-applied to a complete vehicle.

But you don't need to coat the chassis, we have custom spec'd our grades of aluminium to have very high corrosion resistance and our kit design does not encourage it either. We have performed extensive testing on this approach and have had aluminium chassis on both street and track for 7 years+ now monitoring their performance.

Fibreglass will catch fire very, very quickly. If anyone even suspects their kit car is one fire, you had better exit very quickly as you will get burned very quickly. Fibreglass burns quick and hot. It's one of our safety advantages as we don't have a fibreglass tub style cockpit.


albanycobra, black chassis with black suspension will look awesome. You probably know this, but for anyone that doesn't, the smoother you make the alloy surfaces before coating, the more gloss the anodised finish. I love the look of anodising polished alloy.
