well the mechanic sed that it needed doing or it wont pass its next mot. i had an advisory on my last mot for underbody corrosion, it doesnt look2 bad so i thought i would treat it then paint it so its protected from rust?

stops the car from rusting away! thats the point of it.
remove ALL rust, then underseal it mate. best thing is a wire brush, and a small thin paint scraper

I did it with some kind of black (available in shine or mat) thick coat.
It is something like on the inner arches.
You can buy it in canns to paint it with an air compressor
It is now on for over 2 years => never seen probs with it.
Hope everybody understands me

Paint brush. I done my arches front and rear and the whole rear end on the Nova before PVS. I intend to do the rest of the car soon but I want to get underneath it properly so might ask the bodyshop if I can go down there on a Saturday when they are quiet and do it then.

this thread has been brought up from the dead.
