Ok guys Ive stripped the underseal off most of the boot floor and one wheel arch just got one wheel arch and a few bits left to do as Im only going up to the floor area beneath the rear seat for the time being as I want the car on the road.
Due to the fact that the underseal stripping process has took the car down to bare metal and revealed surface rust in places I have undercoated the stripped areas with Rust Buster epoxy paint as suggested by Bruce whos used it on the underside of his shell.
To be honest the brushed on finish is not brilliant and I intend to overcoat it with red oxide etch primer as this should dry matt and could possibly be flatted to reduce the brush marks. My question is do you guys recommend the use of the over paintable stone chip stuff?
I am planning to top coat the underside with Rustoleum Combi Color which boasts excellent flow out of brush marks and at the end of the day Im not after a concours or top of car body finish on the underneath.
Interestingly when I removed the underseal that had been brought up about an inch onto the panel behind the rear arches, bearing in mind the car was "bare metalled" 10 years ago guess what I found underneath the 10 year old paint? yep more underseal, not good when I spent 3.5k on the respray 10 years ago, always wondered why they had applied the underseal to that height:X:X:X.
