Can you get a clear stonechip which you can spray over paintwork?

Ive found with my sills the paint is chipping off showing the stonechip underneath.

No.

You can get a clear aerosol stonechip

If you brush it, you'll get brush marks and not the textured finish you get with a gun. Also might be difficult to get an even finish.

LOOKY ERE ME LOVER

I have now applied Gravitex to the sills, rear arches, front wings, inner wings. Its got a really nice texture, and I left it for 24 hrs before painting over. It's top stuff as I have found, I would really recommend it to anything else. I have the Sealey underbody sealant gun and from a compressor it works a treat. I set it to 4.5 bar and this gives a nice orange peel texture.

Hi John

It comes in 1ltr tubs I understand. I am due to do mine soon, how much did you use?

Thanks

Hi Steve
Well, yes, it comes in 1L platic bottle to be applied with a shultz type underseal gun. anyway, to answer your question, one bottle covered 1 sill, 1 complete under wing area (wing, and inner wing, inside front panel, inside 1 rear arch and valence closing panel.
So if my maths is right, to do the sills, rear arches, under wing areas you would likely use 2L. Probably around 3 or 4 litres if you did the entire floor as well.

Thanks John

That sounds more like clear waxoil - Never seen clear stonechip.

ive used that shultz thick underseal stuff on both of my footwells and are painted over in red. i must say, it looks crappy lol. and the paint comes off where the heels of ma feet go near the pedals, AND its abit sticky (its been on for about 3 months) so all the little buts of paint and crap/rust fall from the higher foot well and get stuck to the floor, and because the bits are so small theyre hard to get off and i cant be arsed. i wish i didnt use it now, i would prefer the smooth stone chip, at least then it will look good. what can i use to get rid of it as its pretty thick?
