Thanks guys and thanks mark, that link is enough for me to disregard dipping, probably save some pennies in the long run too which is great.

instead of making another thread, I'm currently overhaulling all the suspension and brakes, I have subframes that need sorting, I've been reading up on it, and I've decided tetrosyl black chassis paint for top coat, but unsure on a good primer and what would be best to use inside?
