Should I...
 

paint the chassis and inner fenders under my blazer? I have been to the car wash with oven cleaner a dozen times - on my hands and knees getting all the grime off the underside of my K5. Now, it's clean but the brown/red oxidized steel is showing. I love the virgin qualities of this rig but it would look a whole lot better with a coat of Eastwood chassis black under there. Thing is, you can't unpaint it and I have resisted doing other things to preserve the originalty. Am I right to leave it, or should I paint it and not worry about it?:crazy:

Protect it while you can!

Factory rust is not a rare option.

Re: Should I...
 

I agree to paint it - having used the oven cleaner on the bottom you may have removed some of the undercoating that may protect you from rust in the future - you may want to protect what you got there - just my opinion though.

I agree spray it before it rusts! Nice Blazer by the way!!

Re: Should I...
 

I sure don't see any downside to you spraying it. Protection is a good thing!

Re: Should I...
 

:agree: We fight so hard to to even find Blazers that do not have rust, so why invite it in. You have a very nice Blazer and rust will decrease the value more then painting the frame. That is just my thoughts.

How many people are gonna look under there with it painted and realize it's not factory? Paint it!

Re: Should I...
 

That is a beautiful rig. Painting it will only add to it. Once you get it done, let me know how it works because I might do the same thing.

Are you going to make it to the XXX Root Beer Truck Show? http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=241901

Bouncy - I'm planning on the XXXRootBeer show. I'll join the thread on it. Looks like I'm getting out my rattle cans!

They came with paint on it originally so any black chassis will look factory.A rusty frame wasnt a factory option so why put up with it? Paint it black and dont worry about it.They came stock with non rusty black frames so go for it. ;)
