I wonder if the stuff now being used on the Forth Bridge would be good for a TVR chassis?

Here's a BBC article about the use of glass flake epoxy paint on the Forth Bridge.

except the paint in question is expected to last for 30 years. Better than power coat!

Why don't we just galvanize our chassis?

They have plasma spray coatings that 'resist temperatures of up to 1000°C ' so should be OK for the engine bay!
