Shultz or not...
Turbo Mini Forums

Ok so almost ready to stone chip the underneath of the estate... Before I go out and buy the wrong thing let me pick your brains please..

Halfords sell a hammerite stone chip sprayed straight from the can, or on eBay I can get various other brands that require a Shultz gun... What's the difference?

Any benefits from using the Shultz gun or will the can be ok?

the Shultz gun as you can leather it on to your required depth, with a spray can you will use dozens to achieve the same result at more expense!

Shultz guns are cheap check them out on ebay

Ok Steve great... eBay here I come....

get the gun, its messy but good stuff

Yes i moved to the darkside

Ya was looking at that stuff.. Looks good gear..

Halfords sell Shultz guns down the paint section of the store

If you have already painted the underbody I would apply underbody wax. Stone chip should be applied to bare metal or a primed surface then painted over with the top coat.

I'd suggest you look at an underbody wax (not the Waxoyl shit) I recommend the Dinitrol range of products. They recomend you apply a thin layer of cavity wax first then the underbody wax. wax is the logical thing to apply on the underbody, you apply it to the rest of the car, why not the underbody?

Ooooop's.. Just ordered some stuff off eBay... Too late! Oh well, we'll give it a go!

I'll give the verdict on my build thread when it arrives!

Sorry I haven't replied sooner, im sure stonechip is pours like primer so needs to be overcoated with something.
Sounds like you already have something but have a look at u pol raptor !!

Ok I'll investigate that, cheers...

Seen that raptor stuff, people were using it on the flat beds of pick up trucks.

Anyone else know if the stone chip can be the final layer?

I'd take Rick's word on it considering autobody and paint are pretty much his profession.

Ok guys, may have to rethink this one..

Cheers..

Right update

I was wrong!!

It isn't pours and it can be used as a final finish underneath.

It wont stay spotlessly clean so wouldn't be great for a concourse build as it does stay rubbery so obviously ideal for underneath as its designed for.

Thanks Rick for investigating that... Nice one!
