I've been stripping down the underside of the mini over the last few weeks and appart from the outer floor repair panels and boot floor repair panels, which are still to be fitted, it'll be ready for painting (just the underside for now). Since this 'shouldnt' take too long i thought it might be a good idea to order the paint ready for it.

I've heard good things about Por15 and had a gander at the frost site, but there are lots of different paints on there. A quick list of them:

Tri-coat primer
Rust preventative paint
Chasis black
Black coat (already have)
Self etching primer
Metal ready (already have)
Solvent


I've got the metal ready which i've already used on the a-post repairs which seems to have worked well, but im not sure what i should be using on the floor? The initial plan was to strip, wash down with spirits, apply metal ready, then probably tri-coat primer and finally chasis black? Or should i be using rust preventative paint? Or somthing completely different?

As you've guessed im a complete noob when it comes to paint, so some suggestions would be appriciated. I'll get some pics up in the other section soonish.

I've seen the future and tbh its Pie
