Hi All,

 

Getting ready to clean up the underneath the mini and seal everything.

 

What is recommended these days? Ive always just painted with hammerite and then wayoyled in the past.

 

But ive read a lot about hammerite not being that good anymore.

 

Also what is the best procedure? so stone chip paint order...

 

Thanks

Gravitex stone chip

Upol Raptor truck bed liner is superb!!! 2k product and very hard wearing.

should have added I don't have a compressor currently but I can borrow one if it is the best method going forward!

Bilt Hamber Dynax.  Google it and then buy some.  The best stuff you can buy!

[HarrysMini]

+1 for Dynax!

 

Clear 

 

Black

 

I would paint it and stone chip it first though. Dynax is your final coat for waterproofness. It is your WaxOyl substitute that doesn't wash off after a month.

I can second that upol raptor is the best product once mixed u can actually brush it on if you don't have air compressor , strong hard wearing around 60pound got 4 tubs plus hardner but much better than anything else out there , if u get white u can tint it the same colour as ur car also

as far as Dynax goes, which one would people recommend? theres 3 different ones Dynax S50, Dynax UB and Dynax UC

[frosty90]

also can I stone chip over hammerite does anyone know as I know its the devils work

[HarrysMini]

S50 is used for internal cavities (sill box sections etc.)

 

UB is the black one pictured above.

 

UC is the clear one pictured above.

I wouldnt coat anything over hammerite! Its a nightmare and usually reacts unless you are hammeriting over hammerite. As above Bilt Hambers stuff is supreme!

Test a small area and see if it reacts

[frosty90]

might see if I can get some primer to lay over it first! if not angle grinder and sanding pad should do the trick
