I took almost everything back to bare metal.
Removed all rust and treated the spots witch were a bit rusted.
Then bought some black anti rust and primer in one. Did a few layers. Two more
layers black lacker and then underbody coating.
Think there are some pictures on page 1 of my topic.

Do it once and properly.

Bare metal areas. Etch Primer
Once all of its keyed up with 400grit highest. 240 will do perfect. Degrease.

Use a 2part Epoxy primer such as Bilt Hamber epoxy mastic. 2 layers 20mins between layers.
It cannot be forced dried and will take around 9-10 hours at 20degrees C to dry.
It runs easy but does apply thick if you use a spray gun with at least a 1.8mm head. 2.3-2.5mm head ideal.

Once dry Scotch it up and pop the colour on or further stone chip rubbeized paint then colour.

Can you use a roller on it, its going to spend most of its life on track so will not go the stone chip route

Hi,

i panted my red prelude underside but i used a spray gun , used a roller to wax it and sprayed 12 kg rust protection fat in all holes :lol:
Good thing is it was already free of rust since it was always garaged and hope it will stay free of rust
