95% finished the welding on my shell now and almost ready to start finishing the underneath.

Whats best to use? and what order (first time ive undersealed a car properly)

Primer/Hammerite/stone chip/shultz etc etc?

Hammerite is really not very good in my experience. I'd get a proper Shultz gun and use rubberised underbody Shultz, sticks like shit to a blanket. Make sure it is as clean as possible, and also degreased. Don't waste your time with anything in an aerosol, they are just not up to the task (too thin).

Personally I don't put anything on before Shultz, see what it says on the can of whatever you buy.

i am using hammerite, underseal, hammerite (when underseal is dry) then top coat. hammerited the inside of the sills etc before they went on the car. will also be putting wax oil everywhere i can

if using paint and shultz, which order is correct paint then shultz?

Hi,
Etch prime bare metal, then prime the lot.
Top coat next, this is the only paint that doesn't allow moisture through
Leave a week or so to let the solvents out of the paint. Then what ever you want on top; underseal, stonechip, waxoyl....
Cheers,
Gavin :)

My Mini build diary

POR 15 is supposed to be god on bare metal…

"POR-15® is a high-tech, high performance rust-preventive coating designed for application directly on rusted or seasoned metal surfaces. It dries to an incredible rock-hard, non-porous finish that won't chip, crack, or peel, and it prevents rust from recurring by protecting metal from further exposure to moisture.

Use it to coat rusty frames, floor pans, farm equipment, marine equipment, or even a heavily corroded battery tray.

POR-15® is sensitive to UV light (sun) and must be topcoated for prolonged exposure to sunlight.
Topcoating is not required for areas not exposed to sunlight. "

have a doze of clear por15 in the garage that i will try on my bare metal body, having rust snakes with the clear laquer thats on it know

As bat says, etch prime it first or you could brush on some red lead.
