  Thanks all for the input.  I did buy an undercoating kit with the long and short tubes when I bought the Chassis Black.  Hopefully, the undercoating will adhere in those spots.  There shouldn't be all that many places that will be noticeable.

  Trooper,
  What acrylic did you use?  

  PS: I rec'd an Eastwood email ad today for Chassis Black Extreme.  "More durable and chip resistant" than Chassis Black.  Wish I would have known before. I can still use it in other areas less prone to chips and scratches.
  Thanks again to all.

    Jim,
      I used Eastwood's Chassis Black about 3 years ago and was not impressed with it's durability. It scratches and chips very easily. I have since used a single stage acrylic enamel that I think is much tougher.

      My frame was sandblasted and epoxy primered about 3 years ago. I know from a previous question/answer that I have to rough the surface of the epoxy primer before I can paint it.
        
      My question is,  what about all the places in the frame that I cannot reach to scuff up?  What will happen to the paint?  Just not stick?  I will be using Eastwood's Chassis Black for top coat. 
      Any suggestions?
      Thanks in advance.
      Jim S.
