Under Body Paint...Final Stages....

[andy-w]

Hi All,

Just after some advice and opiniions on painting the underside of the body.
Now the main area right under the body (Floor Pan) is painted in a gloss black finish which i am going to keep in line with.
The sills and wheel areches seem to be finished in a textured paint. I assume this is to help prevent stone chips as it appears to be quite thick.
Does anyone know what this paint is...?

Cheers
Andy

As far as I know, it's nothing special simply black spray on wheel-arch black as sold in Halfords etc. by "Underseal" (a brand of Hammerite now I think)

OK...i shall go down there and have a look at what they have got

I didnt think it would be anything special...just thought i would get another opinion.

Thanks

Andy

Just had a look at Hammerite's web site, they own the Waxoyl brand too. They have something called Underbody seal. It's what I've sprayed onto my wheel arches a few times just to black it all up nicely and finish it off. I seem to remember it gets softened by Wayoyl so you may want to finish this off before you spray the arches.

Waxoyl softens the Underbody seal?
I shall have a look on the hammerite and Waxoyl website and see what is about.
