Folks, currently restoring a mini van. What would be the best under chassis paint available. Something that I can paint over with 2 pac or acrylic. I hate rust so I prefer something rubberised or chunky. Thanks for the advice.

Sounds like it.
There are plenty of options out there. Have you spoken to your local auto paint supplier?

The only one to use is stone guard which is used on modern cars It will have the same finish as the original coating. Most of the proofcotes will soften and bleed through the paint. Most professional restorers use stone guard because it has the best adhesion plus other advantages.2 pac is the way to go if you can afford it, also use a 2 pac epoxy primer on the whole car.The stone guard goes over the primer. Easy to apply.
