Underside protection Spitfire


WIMPUS

Recommended Posts

As some will know that im doing a rolling resto on my daily in use Spit 1500.

But do want some good protection underneath...

Ive painted a part with zink phosphate and stone chip (light coat) over it when doing the sills amd floor repairs.

But do have again some light rust spots 🙄

 

And it would best that I strip the whole floors.

I've worked on a Porsche 911 last year, stripped the underseal, original paint + coating off to bare metal l.

Then rust convertor on the hard spots, epoxy primer and a good layer of stone chip (all suggested by a local bodyshop/porsche specialist).

Been thinking of painting mine in 2k body color.. but thats for later.

 

So what have people done ? 

Also needs to be good against stone chips and salt etc.

 

Underseal I dont like..

uPol Raptor seems to be the stuff, seems to be very tough.

I used etch primer, stonechip, 2k Black then Dinitrol hard wax for the areas likely to get "blasted" by water/mud/stones (which is really tough, 27k miles on the wheel arches and still there)
