Waxoil

[Adam Moran]

Ok, Im just about to start on the underneath of my car and is want to paint all the metal with black paint then waxoil it. My questions are:

1: Can i leave the rear beam painted black? If yes what paint is best

2: Is it cheaper/easyier to get someone else to waxoil the underneath of the car as i really dont fancy lieing on my back doing it!

3: What paint is best to use?

Cheers

best using hammerite as it protects from rust and its pretty strong. gonna use that on mine :)

just make sure its completely dry b4 u put paint/waxoil on or itl rot even more

there is no need to waxoil the whole underneath... just attend to the areas where the factory underseal is broken.. waxoil is good for heating up and pouring into sills etc

i hate the factory stuff, sets on fire when u wave a welder near it :evil:

yeh look really nice on my show car :roll:

er most shows cars ive seen or worked on have had it done it has a similer effect to covering the undersides in fiberglass as it goes rock solid and protects from stone chips and other damage and keeps rust at bay and helps stop salt corrosion

i think if take out the plastic covers to the side of your footwell under the dash u can pout the stuff down there? im only guessing thiugh :?

[courtenaynova]

well, I had my rear disc beam powder coated. Gets in all the fiddly bits and looks mint in black gloss...but then again..hammerite looks nice as well :wink:

Or 2 pack paint SPRAYED not brushed on.

It depends really how much you wanna spend and how much time you have got.
