Rust.

Hi I ws having a conversation with a fellow petrolhead at work today and we ended up wondering if this was feasible

Rhino linings offer a spray on truck bed liner for pick up trucks. Its polyeurathane, impervious to water, stones, salt and vibration.

Could this be used as a superior form of waxoyl? Its expensive but a 1/4" coating of plastic would surely stop oxidisation. If not for the chassis then at least for the wheel arches and innner wings.

Just a thought from a slow afternoon of minimal work and spitballing that I thought Id mention.

If it cracks it might keep water trapped against the metal and have exactly the opposite effect to that you desire, which is why powder coating is usually crap on cars. Just use ordinary stonechip and Dinitrol or similar.

Can a quarter inch of rubberised plastic crack though, this was what we were wondering?
Oh well it was jsut a thought.

Thanks anyway.

It souunds the same sort of stuff as anti-chip so maybe not. 1/4 inch of that is going to weigh you down a fair bit!
