G'day All,
Today's technical question is: Are there valid technical or legal reasons why caravan chassis are "generally" painted silver? Or is this a legacy of the days when red-lead primer and silver frost were the standard paints available? The reason I am asking is that I have some gold paint (hammered finish) that needs using and I am thinking of painting the chassis on either one or both vans with this paint.
The photo below shows an old bar fridge on the left, that I recently refurbished in the gold paint to see what the colour looked like on a broad surface. On the right is a jockey wheel that I'm currently refurbishing that has been painted in the gold, and comparing it with a standard silver colour jockey wheel...
Do I violate any rules or regulations by using gold paint instead of silver? (ie. will I have to park down the other end away from everybody else?
)
Any opinions?
cheers,
Al.
