painting underneath shell

[nova_pipi]

Hi all, I'm wanting to underseal and paint the underneath of my nova and was wondering what are the safest and easiest ways of painting the underneath without using a roll over jig and without damaging anything?
Thanks
Phil

If no engine use an engine hoist to roll it over onto a stack of tyres resting on the top of the b pillar.

I had no roll over jig or an engine crane. Car up on axle stands and shuffled around the floor. Under seal, primer and paint.

I just jacked mine up nice and high and sprayed it led on my back.

I did use Iain's method to do get the underseal off in the first place though which worked well.

Make sure the underside is 100% bone dry before you seal or paint.

What do you attach the hoist to it you don't have a roll cage like above?

B pillar would do
