Underside paint?

Post by ChrisA » Sat Oct 21, 2023 10:42 am

Morning Gents

Now I’ve got my rear arches repaired I now want to paint them. As the area is under the rear arch liners I’m not bothered about the area being body coloured and would rather have maximum protection.

With that in mind I was going to Hammerite the area but thought I’d ask if there was a better product on the market first?

Cheers,
Chris.

If paint is what you want, then I agree, POR 15 is good.

Dare I ask what you would spray on an undercarriage?

No Matt, I’m talking about the rear arches under the lining.
