Default Detailed Underside.......

My Escos already has the underside detailed with all parts either painted, powder coated or polished. The whole floor area has been sealed and painted light grey.

As soon as we get to the end of the summer, i want to re-paint the whole underside in Auralis blue to match.

My question is, how would I go about this? I have a good, clean, heated garage to do the work in but could I just brush it on without leaving brush marks, or would it really have to be sprayed on? Im thinking if i put enough on, the finish should be smooth as its in a heated garage? Also, what sort of paint would I need to do the job?

Any thoughts or opinions on this guys? (Ive also posted in concours but its pretty quiet in there lately.)

Thanks, Rich.

Thats one of the main reasons I bought mine to be honest. When I phoned the owner before viewing it, he said ''its clean underneath too'', so I just expected it to be rust and rot free. Was so suprised when I went to see it!!! Talk about under-selling it. Its spotless underneath and all powder coated and polished. Everything has been done but i just want it blue instead of grey so all the hard works been done.

Would be good to see some pics of yours mate. In fact I think I might start an underside pic thread.
