I used brushng stynthetic enamel on the floor of my S1 and Hamerite on the suspension components, both on top of a zinc based primer.

The enamel's holding up well but the Hamerite chips really easily, wouldn't use Hamerite again.

Hi mate Ive just spent a weekend under the back of my stripped saff. After removing suspension etc i attacked underside with drill and wire brush attachment.I then thought it would look good in white hammerite being a white car.But i have to say my brief attempt at concours ish looked shit. Painting up side down is hard it ran every where. I was so pissed off i brought some spray on hammerite underseal and went over the top of it with that , double protection looked good to. Then it reacted and crazed up.Pissed off i then refitted by shiny repainted suspension, so at least that looks good.I wonder if a brush on coach enamel over zinc primer would be the way to go. I must also add big respect to all those who go concourse not my idea of fun but fookin hard work;

 

Hi Mate, unfortunately there is no easy way to restore the underside of a car, mine has been of the road since last september getting a full restoration of the whole car. The underside of mine in one word was "minging" so after it wasstripped of all the running gear etc, I stripped of all the black underseal using a good old homebase paintstripper/ scraper, then it was fully washed down with parafin to disolve all the little bits of shit in all the grooves, then it recieved 3 coats of stoneguard spray and left to harden for a 48 hours in a heated garage (space heater) it then got 2 coats of self etch primer sprayed onto the stoneguard, 2 coats of mallard green and then, as much clear coat lacquer as we could get on without it running/ dripping......the best way to do this is to have the garage very warm as the spray dries very quickly, my garage was reading 40 degrees celsius on the thermometer, god we were sweating.

And now, i'm finally putting her back together with all my powdered bits n bobs

it is a lot of hard work and even more time and patience that I thought i never had but it is worth it in the end


pictures don't show much of the floor unfortunately.
