Ive used some hammerite underseal on the internal rear floor panels of my car. Due to my interior and car beiong white i wish to paint over the underseal. Can i do this? does it work fine or will the top layer paint crack as the underseal never actually dries, but stays tacky? has anyone done this and had any good/bad look? If i need to remove the underseal and just paint fresh white onto the metal surface whats best for removing underseal that has been on for about 1 week?

Thanks

Neil

You can't paint over underseal, if you want to paint over the protection stonechip is the only thing...

sommit like this... Clicky

but find a local trade autopain supplier and you should get it for a few quid a litre, but you will need a compressor and a shutz gun.
