The underbody is Painted. Prime the Suspension Parts
Materials I de-greased the under-body and sprayed the under-body with epoxy primer (catalyst, solvent). I am amazed of the quality. I couldn’t clean my spray gun after, so today i added OMNI MS 251 Multi-Purpose Solvent to my list of materials. It cleans very well. The Under-Body Next i sprayed…
Preparation to Spray the Underbody (Take 2)
Tomorrow i will spray the under-body with epoxy primer. I “packed” the garage partially. I will open the windows of the doors to get some air flow. This time i decided to make an improvised table and paint all the suspension parts there. God bless our deeds.
Paint Striping the Under-Body (Reprise)
I restarted the paint stripping of the under-body. I used a grinder and a metal brush. I use my new 3M respirator and i am very happy with it. I’ll repeat: buy an expensive respirator unless you have spare lungs. The epoxy primer spills like chalk. Today i decided to…

The Under-Body is Sealed
Sealing Today i sealed the under-body. It looks little ugly, but for me in this case the important point is the quality. Materials Both sealants are Dominion Sure Seal. The black one is Adhesive Sealer. Code 9003. I used it for the smaller gaps. The grey one is Brush On…
The Under-Body is Primed
Yesterday i sprayed the under-body with epoxy primer. I used 1 quart primer and 1 quart activator (1/2 gallon) for this. Maybe it’s too much, but this is my first time to spray. Today my wife shot a few pictures. She must be thinking that my head is tilted 45…
