right im looking to give the underbody of my audi quattro a bit of a clean up, painting it , new bushings, and powdercoating a few Suspension bits

what i wanna know is what kinda paint has everyone used? what was the best way to strip all the sealer,paint etc off it? did you waxyoil it after or jest leave as is?


Thanks
John

 

Alrite mate,
i will be doing the underside of my turbo, all im going do is remove the sealer and old paint down to metal wiv a wire brush on a angle grinder, then spray with stone-chip paint, then cover in hammerite paint, then just leave it, clean it once in a while may be!!

 

 

stone chip paint? like that body shuts stuff?, think thats what its called.
what would be the best kind to use?
thanks

john

 

wire brush attachment on an electric drill.takes all underseal off to bare metal.stongeuard it,prime it and then paint it with hammerite paint.hard work but worth it mate

 

had my MK4 3i done proffesionally at a classic car restorers, took it right back to the original primed surface. including inner wings etc etc. then plenty of etch primer,seam sealed, then several coats of shutz and then a few coats of the body colour. its now at the bodyshop getting the full resto job. i did consider doing it myself and buying a rollover jig....but time and space were a problem. i take my hat of to the guys that do it themselves!

 

damn they all look so so so feckin clean!

if i get mine half as nice lookin underneath as them ill be happy!
