Looks the part mate - Done with a spray gun and airline ? Or is it in Cans ?

Did you bare metal the car before hand or spray on top of the old sealer because you knew it was sound underneath ?

I'm interested because I plan to do my Mk1's arches

Yes i bare metalled them, its a bag that you mix as its a 2pac sealant. Which you buy an end you connect on to an air line.

Its not that cheap but its worth it (see £13-15 a bag) plus the gun/head.

The old sealer that on the arches and under side holds water and hides alot of damage and rust.

i wire brushed all of mine and painted them white to match the car, every now and then i take the wheel off and use a sponge and soapy water to clean them up just like washing the outside of the car, next plan is do underneith
