When you see these high dollar show cars with their shiny black, powder coated frames they are way over-restored and don't reflect how the car was actually delivered from the factory. I remember hearing some scuttlebutt that PI was going to start docking points on over-restored cars in Judging for that reason. Not sure if they ever decided to do that or not.

I used semi-glass Chassis Black paint from Eastwood on my chassis and steering parts. But if I was to do it all over again, I would have just bought a 2-part urethane in low-gloss black from the local auto paint store to do it with. Much cheaper in price and longer lasting since it is catalyst cured. That is what I painted the inner fenders with, and it turned out great.
