Looking at protecting the underside of the jeep a bit better and was just wondering what is commercially available for the job. Dont want to cover the underside with waxoil as that's a pain to get off and never realy sets. So looking for ideas on a good resistant paint.
what i'm looking for idealy is a smooth finish so when jetwashed underneath the mud etc just falls away easily
some types i have come across are listed below
smoothrite...... old faithfull
chassis enamel.....forgot the make but have used this in the past and it was good but i can't source some (update brand later)
halfords spray on enamel......looks good but too thin
bed liner paint....expensive (not used it)
2 pack enamel paint ???
stone chip paint....is this worth it long curing time (still a bit rubbery on the wifes vitara after repair 2 days ago)
-
er..... radiator enamel. its chip resistant and goes on well.
-
used oil
-
Yup ....
-
the yanks love the bedliner paint but it can be a bit harsh when applied by a roller, plus some swear by this POR stuff but even with that there are mixed views.
radiator enamel only available in white LOL.
-
With Rad Enamel you'd know if its clean.....
-
its not just available in white, you can get it in a multitude of colours altho white is the predominant colour.
-
might give it a go with the rad enamel, so it's going to be a multicoloured underside of the jeep

How about Hammerite Stone Chip spray on.
I did a salt spray test on this (and all waxoyl type stuff) last year & it performed great and looked neat to; also POR15 is good.
Unlike the Tectyle & Waxoyl type finishes these dry hard and can be jetwashed etc.
