Epoxy Mastic on underside or a shiny bottom?

[Td5newbie]

Well here I am again after quite a long break raising the funds to get my Stag restored properly this time.
I've bitten the bullet and the car was stripped back to bare metal/rust/botched welding/filler/unknown substances/welding a three year old could have done etc. I'll give a full update in due course but I think I've had almost every panel replaced.
Result is that the car is looking good with a few more panels to be fitted.

Now it is time to consider paint/rustproofing etc.

On the underside and inside the arches I'm thinking of Epoxy Mastic (probably in black) from Rustbuster with some dinitrol over the top- Do any of you more experienced souls have a better idea?
I have seen a lot of cars with gleaming undersides but this car will get driven by me at any opportunity and so I want to protect it from the elements without having to steam clean it every time I take it out.

I'll have plenty of dinitrol on the inside of the panels as well.

Many thanks in advance for your replies

Personally i like them painted body colour underneath an in the arches.
I plan to stone-chip then underneath then go over that in body colour

Each to their own though and black underneath can still look clean if its done well

I've got two coats of jotun primer on mine, followed by two coats of white smoothrite a coat of body deadener and finally three coats of body colour, in my cars case white. Its easy to keep clean with a normal bucket and sponge on the bits that are easily seen and receives a soapy pressure wash with a special wand prior to a show.

we used that on my brothers car, it comes in two tins that you have to mix ( one a harder )first time my brother used it he didn't put the harder in so had to take it all off with thinners ,you can paint over it with body colour paint,its much better than under seal

I used an epoxy resin zinc rich product listed down in my thread . It was really heavy so must have had good content . Its also an epoxy too . After this aplication i stone chipped again with a zinc rich product and then painted two pack body colour over.
I also treated the existing pitting of any rust with rustbuster 123 , they are good products .I wanted to keep my original rear floor pans so did all i could to treat them.

I found Bilt Hamber products to be superb. Much easier to apply in cavities than Waxoyl and much easier to paint on. Usual disclaimers.
