THINKING of removing the underseal in the wheel arches of the car as i love the white look through the wheels....Justseems to make the cars look even better

BUT

Does it take some taking care of once removed???

HOw hard is it to remove???

 

Cant it be painted over. . in white. . gives the same effect but still protected?

OR

Remove it, stone chip and paint over it?

 

The paint won't stick to the underseal,tried that
Strip the lot off and repaint

 

stone chip in white then paint over

 

yeah thats what i did

 

Tiff use a blowtorch and scraper to get most of it off then a wire brush on your grinder to clean the rest up.

Either use a white stonechip or you could use hammerite

 

White stonechip. . hmm never seen this before, nice

 

and me

 

Cheers Chaps.....may go the stonechip in white and paint over

Anyone got any pics

 

Dont bother with a blow torch get a heat gun i got mine from argos a tenner

 

Don't remove the sealer unless it is already coming off Tiff. Just peel the bit that is coming off and re seal it then clean all the rest up and paint over it with plasticiser so it stays flexible.

 

There is a tiny tiny bit coming off....thats it

So you can paint on top of it then???

 

As long as you clean it up properly with panel wipe but it might be easier to take it all off and freshly seal it and then paint it.

The easiest way to remove it is to warm the panel up from the opposite side with a heat gun and the sealer just peels off then. This means interior out though.

 

Mine did look like this!! Needs cleaning out and doing again to be honest.

 

 

think i might aswell do mine while the car is stripped



i do love to see the inside of the arch all painted


o well that will be next weekend sorted then

 

I scraped all my shitty underseal of to bare metal then used 15 bags of this sprayable bag sealer.

 

After painting ,it looks like this

 

More pics.
