Question Underbody Restoration Help...

Im sanding the underside of my whole car to bare metal and was planning on putting a few layers of mastic 121 then a few layers of hammerite smooth paint,
do you think this would be ok or should I go for something better?

Thanks

If you're going to all the trouble of bare metal you gotta do it properly. I just posted a load of tips for a guy doing a s2 underbody.

have a look at that it listed in the forum "listed by model"
However if you do it in a overpaintable stonechip ie not underseal you can paint it whatever colour you like.

just my opinion but i wouldnt brushpaint it in hammerite.
