How is that one applied? Prob a bit thick to go through a spray gun?

I was looking to underseal my S2 but havnt got access to compressors, spray guns etc.

3M sprayable sealer is one of the best for the original look
part no-08800 250ml
applicator gun-08801
You will need a few bags of it though and i think it costs £10 per bag.Can be sprayed over

Best way would be to have it sealed then sprayed really.

generally just painting on underseal traps all the dirt thats already on there in and also traps in anything else that may ingress

would also weigh quite a bit aswell eh? i was thinking about getting rid of all the underseal then starting again

sounds allot of work but the outcome would be worth while & it would reveal what rot i have left

On my car theres just some light surface rust at variouns palces underneath. I just wanted to grind it down and re-apply the underseal in those places.

The abay shop mentioned above says the big tins of underseal can be applied with a brush or roller??

Yes you are quite right. Im not sure it would weigh THAT much, but certainly this would be the best possible way to do it!

When you are in process of doing it, you will be looking under there and thinking 'i wish i never started this' but when its finished its smiles all round when you can see it coming together. It is worth it.
Like savechav said, rip it all off and start again.
