There is a company called "SEM" that makes a real good chassis paint. I used the black on our 64 Falcon about 7 years ago and it still looks perfect. Not sure if the make "blood red" but check with them.

There is a product called "POR15". I have used it on street rod chassis' in years past, amazing stuff- really sticks. Not sure you can get it in red, tho, and I am assuming it is still around, I haven't used it in a few years.

Is POR15 a paint? I thought it was like a undercoating for 'over rust' stuff....

Trying to look good when you roll it?


I guess you're going for the Rancho look?

well now that you say that i just want it to look more special. you know like white walls on a jeep . plus i think it would look sick on a silver jeep. i am juggling the red or the powder blue. im a MP in the army and i think powder blue (MP Colors) would be fitting.

POR15 is a paint, and I just checked, you can get it in colors!
Google it, there are a bunch of different outfits, one is www.stoprust.net, that supply it. Really good stuff.
