So which color of CS is the best for body panels that are gonna get sprayed(OD Green BABY!) afterwards? I really want to CS my front fenders cause the last ones(OEM) rusted through in the same spot and I dont want that to happen again.
Also, once i CS the bottom of the tub is it OK to cover the CS with just plain rattle can paint so its easy to touch up?

Silver... since there will be texture. And, yes, it is fine to top with rattle cans specials.

Another question about using as primer..... is it best to be applied over bare metal? or Can it cover a mixture of bare metal, factory paint, and a little filler?
Also, if i plan on using this to cover the outside body, fenders,hood, etc.. and interior how much CS would be recommended?

Scuff bare metal with 50 - 60 grit, no wire wheeling as it burnishes and will not aid in adhesion
scuff factory paint with 120 grit, same with filler
must MEK wipe factory paint to ensure was removal
hard to give exact coverage other than 300 - 400 sq ft per gallon
frame alone 1 - 2 quarts, 2 thin coats minimum, minimum of 5 - 6 hrs between coats and before 24 hours or scuff with 320 - 400 between coats if cured more than 24 hrs

I see that some places its written to use the Silver/Aluminum CS as a base coat or primer, before doing the black CS. Is that needed? Or just a suggestion for a better outcome? I know it fills and smoothes holes, but I'm painting the frame in the Jeep before I swap it over. So im not concerned about a "smooth" finish on the frame as much as I am with a body.
Also does the satin black really look that grey color as in the pic on your site, or is it really black just a satin finish? Maybe someone has a pic of it after they used it they can post up.

Satin black looks like a satin black, not gray. It has a waxy sheen. As for the black over the silver, it is talking about like rattle can black because CS black is still not UV stable.

Confirmed as Luckrider stated. That's a bad photo.
Silver is optional

I figured instead of pming you, I'd post here for other people to gain the knowledge aswell.
How does chassis saver do with heat? Such as the engine bay / bottom of the hood.
I ask because there is rust in my engine bay, and Id like to paint as much of it as I can with chassis saver, if applicable.

No issues with heat on these surfaces. The only place that CS is not recommended is on surface of heat sources themselves like engine block and exhaust components.
Although someone told me that the silver they tested on a muffler is still holding up. Not sure how long it's been on there
Do I need to do lab tests/photos 
Where's Ricky?
