GIO Galvanised Chassis Paint is a direct to New Galvanised steel coating for the automotive industry., Galv In One is designed specifically for painting over galvanised steel
Benefits include
- No need for t-wash or etch primer
- Economical cost wise
- Postpones the galvanised finish sacrificing itself.
- Offers an OEM durable finish
- Brush/ roller/ spray/ schultz or aerosol applied
- Simple, reliable prep. Fxdegrease, Scotchbrite, wash down, dry, apply.
NOTE:- GIO naturally thickens over time. So it is advised you have a little thinner on hand. This is especially relevant for the schutz tins, as sometimes they will need a little help to spray if the batch is slightly older. Our batches are not mass produced for this reason, and are made in Bristol to keep tock as fresh as possible.
Recommended quantities.
90 chassis 10 aerosols or 2.5 liters tinned or 4 schultz tins
110 chassis 12 aerosols or 5 liters.
Thinning
Product Types
1000ml Paint Tin
Normal paint tin for brush / roller / thinning and spraying
1000ML Schutz Undercoating Tin
Stubby Schutz Tin. These tins work with our FX10 Spraygun & FX11 Spraygun. The gun screws directly on. To use a normal Schutz gun with a stubby schutz tin, you need to trim the pickup tube 75mm shorter.
5000ml Paint Tin
Normal paint tin for brush / roller / thinning and spraying
400ML Aerosol (traditional)
Traditional aerosol.
400ML Buzzweld Powercan The Aerosol powercan uses NO THINNER. as a result the can outputs the same amount of paint as a spraygun. This means less coats, a much higher film build and time saved. HOWEVER- the cans empty themselves very quickly. Protection VS coverage. When using a powercan you need to spray from further away. This can can also be used as a textured spray (comes with two nozzles).

Fantastic product, does what it says on the tin and gives a great flat finish. Painted a new galv chassis just pre wash with fxdegreaser and rinse. Scuff up with some scotchbrite and spray. Used schuzt at 60psi. 2 coats finished in no time.

Went on really well and I love the finish. I love the convenience that it goes straight onto galv without t wash or primer.

Purchased 1 litre of Portofino Red tinted GIO for my new Defender 90 Ultra Bulkhead. I thinned with 20% thinners using suction spray gun at 60 psi. This has given a great base coat in the finished colour, I applied two coats and still have 500ml (thinned) left over. The two coats have resulted in an overall fine texture finish with sufficient build to flatten off the external visually exposed surfaces in preparation for the final 1k top coat.

Time saver. Just clean up your chassis with degreaser and rough up with scotch-brite then spray, no need to etch prime or T-wash. Good finish.

Does exactly what it says on the tin 19 March 2022 | Timothy
Bought the kit but forgot the thinners as suggested in description but it was not needed.
The fx11 gun was easy to use, set up guide spot on and gave a great fine textured finish

ORDERED GIO, AFTER A FRIENDS RECOMENDATION , THE PRODUCT IS PRICED IN LINE WITH, OTHERS I HAVE USED, IT ARRIVED PROMPTLY, WELL PACKAGED. NOW HAD CHANCE TO APPLY IT , I WARMED IT AS SUGGESTED , THIS ALLOWED IT TO FLOW NICELY, I MANAGED TO PUT TWO VERY THOROUGH COATS, ON A NEW 110 CHASSIS , WITH EXACTLY FOUR LITRES. PLEASED WITH THE APPEARANCE.

Cracking product which once dry looks smart. Was a little thick and needed to be thinned, but has dried nice. I would suggest you buy a decent schultz gun with a more adjustable fan, mine didn't really cut it and has left a bit of a spackled finish, although it does look quite tough.

I decided that I would paint my chassis and use T wash, etch primer AND a brand of paint which begins with a common hand tool also known as a persuader or tapping stick. Then decided I would hunt around for a direct to galv paint. Boy did I make the right decision.
The paint arrived the following day (ordered Thursday morning, arrived Friday as I paid for next day delivery) as I wanted to get cracking on the weekend.
Now I didn't thin or tamper with the product, I used a paintbrush to apply direct from the tin. Real thick consistency and sticks to the surface like a dream...people please follow the guidance on the second coat as I noticed if you rush to apply it, you will find it'll cause the first to lift.
I applied three coats on a 110 chassis and I still have one third of a 5L tin left. I applied thin coats but I I tend to apply another two to ensure my chassis is fully encapsulated. Little and often seems to do the trick. The painted chassis took a knock after I tried to persuade a coil spring to seat properly and it didn't flake or lift...proper job 👍
Overall I can't believe how well this product performed.

YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED
