whats the best paintable underbody sealer

 

3M 08880 sprayabel sealer is a good bet

and i have the gun if you want to buy it cheaper than the shops

 

Yes,this is the stuff.(BAG SEALER)



It,s not cheap ,Ł7 a bag and i used 15 bags on my ESCORT RS TURBO.

Looks like this.

 

Could you paint it over under seal then paint ?

 

No ,you have to strip the floor back to bare metal,then bag sealer,then your colour choice of hammerite.

 

I really want to have a go at this on my series 2 at the end of summer. For some reason i undersealed my arches afew years ago , what did you use to get the underseal off ? Was it just up on axle stands or was you lucky enough top have a ramp ?

 

There is various options to get underseal off you can try petrol or something similar to remove it and i need be wire wheels etc. I have just done the underneath of my Rs with it only up on axle stands a pain in the hoop
I took it right back to the factory primer , then treated any surface rust then prepped the metal , sprayed 3M on the underside , then several coats of hammerite and for good measure waxyoil
Well worth it in the end for piece of mind etc

 

What he said.You will need about 4 wire wheels on a drill/grinder.
A pain in the arse and should take about 5-7 hours,but well worth it.
The only trouble is that your floor will look so nice it will put your suspension to shame,so you have to get that all powdercoated.

Ends up like this.

 

Im so jelous, i need my drivers side sill done first then im goin for it

 

could you paint the cars orginal color on top of that 3m stuf?

 

Yes you can 2pac and laquer over it,but for durrability i,d recommend SMOOTH HAMMERITE.They come in most ford colours,i.e: RED,WHITE,BLACK,GREY E.C.T.

 

mercury grey minter, it must be so nice when it comes round to MOT time knowing you are wasting the testers time lol, where for the rest of us its nerves central, cant wait till I finish mine and get it something like yours

 

mercury grey minter you car is fresh! love it

 

Is a nice car and took me a year to get the underneath looking like that.

So why the f*ck did i sell 6 months ago.

Some more pics to make me cry.

 

I used this stuff on the under side of my 3dr restore that im doing IMPA BODY. i got it from jawel paints the price ???? we used 4 cans and they some coulers so we had wight and then sprayed it dimand wight

 

Thats a nice 3 door shell mate, I am doing mine at the moment, I have coilovers as well ... lot of work but I will get there. I even have to rotisserie like you...
I lost some time as I put under body sealant on then after a lot of talk I decided to rip the lot off to bare metal and now Im putting 2 pack on (can do that here as no snow). I also converted my rear beam to group A and strenthened trailing arms... next step is to make trailing arms fully adjustable.
