Default Spraying the underside after wax-oil?

Evening,

Ive replaced all the floors on my car and the whole underneath and inner arches have all been treated to a few layers of stonechip and then wax-oil/underbody seal.

Now, after seeing photos of other cars where the underneath is the same colour as the body it has made me think twice before putting it back together.

Would anyone consider spraying over the top of underbody seal or is it a bad idea?

Really want the car back together so im not removing all the fresh underseal (again!).

Cheers, Ryan

if you have used waxoyl or schultz then you will need to remove it as paint will not stick to it ,but if you have used stoneguard then that is ok to paint over .if you have used the sticky waxoyl then that can be removed with a hot steam cleaner or petrol .but if you have used schultz then it will need stripping with petrol as it will bleed through .hope that helps .
