Undercoating

Post by BenTi »

I will become the caretaker for a 1954 Morris Minor. I want to make sure the underside doesn’t rust. Is there a specific recommended undercoating that I can use to protect this.

Haven't tried it myself but this stuff seems to be attracting a great deal of favourable attention these days:-

If it was me I would.... if it is dry, rub with a wire brush then I would use a red oxide primer (paint over with any colour if you want). If oily, try white spirit to remove oil then use red oxide. Check for any areas that might need repairing. When finished spray something like Waxoil every where (except brake parts, obviously). Do not under any circumstances use underseal.
