jim_supra Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I'm just about to start tackling surface rust on the car, starting by doing all arches then will move on to the underside. I've taken the front wings off, archliners hockey sticks etc. And have found some patches of light surface rust beginning to form. had I not stripped as much off it would certainly have progressed and become much more of a headache in future. Well worth being thorough. I was planning on stripping any rust back and coating with a high zinc content primer, then top coat of paint, and finally some form of rubber based underseal. Is this going to be adequate, or is it overkill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mplavery Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Main reason was I was going to redo the wheel arches as you can see a light bit of over spray from when the car was painted so I thought about doing the whole underneath .. I might just do wheel arches and scooter said there no point really Looking good Burna ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burna Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Cheers Ok, in brief, remove old underseal, wire brush it all, rust treat it, zinc primer, then upol raptor. I'm planning on doing a project/progress thread shortly, so people can see the process over the next few years go on, and mainly a record for myself for the future.
