Here is a nice photo of the 212 chassis with a fresh coat of primer and paint. We used a red-oxide primer from PPG and a special satin black That I feel is the perfect gloss in PPG’s DCC Concept line, a single stage finish. The finish is DCC Concept line is Acrylic Urethane and it is so tough and goes on so easy that it seems impossible anything work and look so good.
When painting something like this with all the tubes and welded areas, the bulk of the chassis is over-sprayed. It is quite an exercise to get under, upside-down and all around to ensure a good coat on all of the tubing. It is nice to know that the chassis will be coated to be preserved for another 50 years or more.

Here is a photo of the body on the 212 on the chassis. Since this photo was taken we have dialed in the wheel openings so, when steered with the suspension compressed, the wheels will clear the bodywork. The shape of this car is very exciting, another example of how it is hard to argue with the creative styling of these cars.
