Vehicle Chassis – Shotblasted, Powder Coated & Refurbished by MSBPCL
We blast clean, protect and refinish vehicle chassis, body shells and kart frames at our workshop in Heybridge, Maldon. Whether it’s a classic car restoration, a race chassis or an everyday vehicle, every job starts with thorough preparation and finishes with a coating chosen for how the vehicle will be used.
Our chassis refurbishment process
- Clean: the chassis is steam cleaned to remove road salt, oil and general contamination.
- Blast clean: blasting strips rust, old paint and filler, leaving a clean, etched surface. It also shows up hidden rust damage or broken welds, so they can be dealt with first.
- Zinc metallisation (optional): a 100 micron coat of 99.9% pure zinc gives long-term protection against corrosion.
- Coat: we finish with either Plascoat PPA-571 or a primer and polyester powder coat.
Which finish is right for you?
- Plascoat PPA-571: flexible and chip resistant, and highly resistant to salts, acids and automotive fluids. Two coats are applied while the chassis is still hot, so no primer is needed. We recommend it for vehicles in everyday use.
- Primer and polyester powder coat: a wide colour range and a high-quality finish, ideal for show and classic vehicles.
