underbody paint

[kevin s]

Looking for any thoughts. I have been offered 5 litres of white two pack epoxy at a reasonable price, apparantly it is intended for offshore work. I am considering painting the underside of my restoration project with it, but am not sure if I would be better off with stone chip paint which may be a bit more flexible.
Any thoughts?

Google the product, it may give you a spec sheet

Well would that not mean that it is made to survive attacks from salt and so if you plan to use the car all year round would this not be a good thing especially when the roads are gritted.

If it's for offshore use it's probably ideal for car underside, I've used bouy paint before and that was brilliant - and very bright red which suited my red Triumph Spitfire well. For our roads you need the strongest stuff you can find. Shutz, stone chip and underseal are ok, but short lived as they will dry out, crack and evetually allow water ingress underneath the coating - very bad.

I'd definitely go for paint - and as a belt and braces approach add a top coat of stone chip. Mind you it's going to be a bit awkward putting black stone chip over white glossy paint.

In passing, I coated the rusty suspension parts of a Fiat to stop it getting worse. I used Eastwood POR 15 from Frost restoration - this stuff is awesome, got some on my hands and it took weeks to get it off and it set hard as nails (pun intended) on a couple of finger nails which is just now growing out after a couple of months. It's hideously expensive but seriously strong. Wear gloves!
