Underbody seal...

[KarlBristol]

I'm after a quick bit of advice....

I've been doing a lot of work under the car recently and replacing a lot of bits. There are a few parts that aren't going to be replaced though and are looking a little worse for wear (signs of corossion and age at 22 years old). I want to revamp these parts.

I want the underbody of my car to be completly sound to ensure that the parts aren't rusting or getting worse. I'm after some form of protection, which also ideally gives it a nice black finish to make the underside look nicer and more modern.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
Have you done this - What have you used?


So far I've been thinking about black hammerite (but liable to chip after a while, especially on the underside of the car) and waxoil (but needs recoating ideally every year and is liable to pick up a lot of debris from the road).

So far I'm leaning towards the hammerite route.
Any more suggestions?

Thanks people

Really depends on what your budget is really. Lauren got the bottom of her AE86 done a little while back professionally so you might want to ask her.. It did look a propper job if i'm honest..

I'd very much like to follow this topic. Perhaps Lauren would tell us all a little about her underbody protective work.

I have just had the whole of my AW11 professionally waxoyled.

To rust proof VERY well, use Por15.

On top of that you want to underseal to prevent stones chipping as you said.

I almost want to change my siggy for that.

On a serious note if you go here she added some stuff on her AE86 page in off topic.
