Stone chip

[stig]

Am in the process of sealing the fuel tanks and indside of the GRP. Having looked a some products in local motor factors, was wondering whether you lot had any suggestions for rubberised paint which will protect again stone-chips for the ally and GRP?

Hi Stig,

You could try Rubbercoat,which you can get from Carlife in Leeds, Tel [phone].

As Grahambell says Rubbercoat is 'The' product to use.
It's used throughout the rest of the kitcar scene.
Use 2 or 3 coats over the wheels to prevent stones, thrown up by the wheels, from creating star cracks that come right through to the gellcoat. If you get these cracks they are almost impossible to repair as the stress remains in the glass fibre.
