Looking good fella :) Did you spray it on aye ?
Could you go through what prep you done in order to go about getting it done - It's a grey area in my mind and I can't decide what to do with my project

Well, mine had already been done so was fairly clean underneath.Quote:

Then you just set your compresser at 70-90 psi, and spray the gear on!
Be careful not to get it on the body work though, as its messy stuff
I used 4 1 litres tins, cost £18 with the gun, Bargin I think!
Any more questions just ask, thanks for the positive comments people :D
BTW if you Have a Mint shell and Not rot why not stone chip it then gloss it ?
Got my PNG stickers on

And made this today for my ceneter console, I don't like the black plastic all that much so I thought I would add this to tie it all into my interior theme!

Was there any surface rust on the underside of your car if so, how did you treat that ?
No not really , as said it had all been done before.
When it was welded I wire wheeled it and then coated in either underseal or primer.
The underseal soaks into any minor rust and prevents it from becoming worse if your worried about light surface rust :thumb:
I'll need to see what my MK1 is like underneath - I know it's clean but need to see if theres any surface rust - I want to Kurust any surface rust then blitz the whole underside in a thick stonechip sort of stuff...Maybe Scutz
I know my back panel has some light bubbles down the bottom...Probably take that back with a wire-wheel :)
Cheers for the hints and tips cheif...Much appreciated
+Rep if I can
Yeah wire wheel it, then use the krust stuff (I used that on wings, seems to work ok)
Yeah I used Tetra Schutz mate, fantastic stuff as it never quite drys so soaks in very well and doesnt trap water like other underseals do.
I would only use stone chip if its perfect with no rust other wise your just covering it up,.
Probably use Schutz :) Then go over it with a clear coat of Waxoil at the seams etc then the shell will be pumped full of Waxoil from the inside lol
Good plan, I was extra care to get it in all the cracks and holes, like the cross member and inner arches :D
I'll be doing the same...Making sure it's spotless
