looks for advice,

would like to freshen up the underside of the car,

wishbones
rearbeam,
drive shafts
boot floor
subframe
arb
etc

whats the best way to do it?

what to use?

temperature for example

bare in mind, i have a normal garage and not a spray booth

and i dont have a compressor

will rattle cans be ok, or am i better getting them done professional?

 

Rattle cans are a waste of time. I would say get them done proffesionally to be honest

 

as above they put such a fine coating on it will rust in no time best get them sprayed in 2k mate

 

ok cheers

what about things like the boot floor?

borrow/hire a small compressor?

 

a wire wheeling of the boot floor to get it to bare metal, 2 pack prime and stonechip is the way i would do it.

 

ok cheers

 

I'd borrow hire a compressor mate , take the rust spot off with
Wire wheel or flap wheel , etch it then if it's the 205track car
Just use white stone chip.or 2k white on top of it if u want a paint finish

 

as said a million times before but spend forever doing the prep.. the better the prep the better then end result can be.

 

yeah it's my track car, underneath has a little surface rust one the odd part, from when it's driven in the winter and salty roads

 

When I painted the underside of another car, I wire brushed and treated any rust or flaking stonechip, then wiped all underneath with degreaser to make sure clean, gave it a good coat of zinc primer with a brush, seam sealed with brush on sealer and used a aerosol stone chip where required, then to finish it off I had some synthetic enamel mixed to car colour and applied this all underneath with a small gloss foam roller, due to ripples in stonechip it looked as good as spraying over it and has lasted very well. Only really worth spraying if doing concourse in my opinion. Beam and arms etc are better being blasted and powder coated.
