Hammerite / underseal

(1/2) > >>

muddymart:
After poking around the chassis and other panels with a large pointed implement, i was suprised how in good condition everything was ,i was pondering how i could smarten things up,

i was going to wire brush( on a drill of course) the complete lot down and apply smooth hammerite, as anyone done the same or used a different method without braking the bank?

many thanks

Guardian.:
stonechip / underseal will be tons cheaper than hammerite, although in my opinion a good thick coat of hammerite is the best protection you can stick on a bit of metal.

clbarclay:
I find knocking off as much of the rust as feasible with a wire brush and then a good thick coat of under body seal works well. The general concensios I got from kit car builders was that hamerite chips too easily and that the very best on a chassis, but no way the ceapest, was pro-15. Due to a large tub of underbody seal, I have yet to try pro-15 for my self and the locost chassis got powder coated rather than painted.

Boggert:
Tetroseal is great stuff a bit gooey to apply but is mixed with waxoil so will give good protection. Hammerite is too brittle and when struck by a stone will chip easily and let the water in.

Drift:
Dont put por-15 on anthy thing that sees daylight unless you paint over it as UV breaks it down and it flakes off  :wink:

I just clean and paint on waxoil  :wink:
works ok for me
