Nope. Can't go wrong with epoxy primer and a good acrylic, or urethane paint. No need for that stuff. It's meant for vehicle chassis. Tractor chassis don't usually get exposed to the corrosive stuff like salt, magnesium, and calcium they use on roadways. Now, for the underside of a mower deck..... that may be something to try.

I just used some last weekend for inside of the quarters and between the inner and outer roof skin on a 70 Camaro I'm restoring. I would never use it on something that is visable. It is also not UV stable.

I was thinking more of under the mower deck and inside the snow blower. Can I paint on top of this stuff? I'm guessing it's like any other paint that you apply with a brush, there will be brush strokes that kind of look crummy.

I think it should hold up good. This is very durable paint. When I brushed mine on I used a foam brush and also thinned it around 10-15%. For the most part it self leveled as it dried. Another bonus is it is chemical resistant once dry, unlike any paint out of a spray can where some brake cleaner on a rag will remove it. You can also thin it and spray it with a gun. All the directions are on the can.

Perfect, thank you

Chassis saver is pretty good stuff and it's cheaper then POR-15!

From the video I watch I learned that you do not want to get this stuff on your hands!

I think I might order some and use it for the underside of my deck and stuff like that. Maybe even under the fenders?

I had an old rusty thrower I used it in. Wire brushed and this sealed it up pretty good. It's thin and self levels, but depending on how you put it on you might get runs. I used a foam brush. It dries quick. Not uv protective.

I don't have years of testing on it though from what I have seen I would use it again on non visible area like under a deck or inside a blower or underside of fenders or battery tray. As a protective coat that is easy to do

But overall I am going with jmechs point of full blast and prime and paint. Will work well and look much better, but I'm more into a resto than just stopping rust

I paid $50/qt I think... A quart did a 42 blower (quite rusty) with half left over. There is a thread here in the blower with pics, you can search my posts

Certainly worse options out there...

Oh ya, my hands were black for over a week.....
