painting the underside
I was thinking of hitting everything that I can with a sander/wire wheel, spraying it with a rust converter and using regular flat black. Then I thought, why not go with rustoleum type flat black in addition to the rust converter, what do you guys think?

I'm a big fan of Rustoleum. I painted my firewall and front framerails with it a year ago, and it still looks good. Besides, you want as much protection on the underside as you can get; not like anyone is going to see down there, especially once you lower the car. :)
|
I'm sold, haha..going in a little bit to pick up a few cans.

i acutally cleaned the underside with goof off that took about a weeks worth of labor and then put duplicolors undercoating on everything.
|
I wire wheeled the underside of the chevelle, then Por-15'd it. I actually used Eastwoods Chassis Black semi gloss and that stuff looks really nice. Im sure their Flat Black would look good too!
|
Im planning on doing that too Ted, let me know how it comes out.
I was looking at POR-15 or Rustbullet. POR15 fades if its not topcoated..but only if its ina area its hit by sunlight..not under a car..and if it does fade its only the color not the protection.. If i recall the application process for rustbullet is easier then por |
I picked up some rust converter from the local hardware store, it's guranteed for 5 years and is also heat resistant up to 800 degrees. I also picked up rustoleum flat black. I'll have pics of my progress later this weekend :-D

Try Rustoleum's " Hammered" paint it easy to touch up, they have some colors , very durable too. I'm thinking of doing my whole bottom of my car in Hammered Silver. it makes "Spohn's Red parts really stand out. JR1.
|
I saw that "hammered" paint and was thinking about it. I still may do it, but in black. I also have red suspenson components (spohn and UMI) I did the heat shields and everything in regular flat black, the hammered may be a nice way to go for the actual bottom of the car, I'll have to think about it.

Clean it with simple green and a power washer. Then paint it with POR-15 and you can topcoat it with Chassis Black from Eastwood.
|
ah too late, I already cleaned it and painted the rusted areas with rust converter the other day
~Ted |
I just painted the under side of my hood and the whole engine bay area, in hammered silver, pictures coming, looks good. JR1.
|
Nice, I just went with fat black. I posted pics in another thread I made

What I did was opened up a photobucket account, it's free. (photobucket.com) You can upload the pictures there from your PC and host them anywhere. You would use the [IMG] link provided with each picture that you loaded and simply copy/paste that link in the message box on this site. . If you need more help let me know
~Ted |
Well, my photo's are in Photo bucket, how do i get them from there to the NJFBOA message board. thats got me lost. plus where should i put photobucket at, it's in my favorites now. Thanks.JR1.
|
when you are viewing all of your pictures in your photobucket account there should be three text boxes under each picture. Copy the one that begins with the [IMG] tag and paste it into your post.

So, when i post a reply, go to manage attachments, then browse,but from here how do i get photobucket to be in there to take photo's to post then.JR1
