Hammerite under body seal

Gives heavy duty protection to the areas underneath of your vehicle that are prone to corrosion. I used this for the whole floor area and the wheel arches. It’s really tough and has a gummy feel to it when set.

This chemically converts the rust and forms a protective chemical barrier. This is probably the best stuff available. It’s used on vessels and legs of oil platforms. I used a lot of this on my van.

Removing rust is a horrible job. It will get in your eyes if you don’t get glasses. Get glasses! trust me.

Paint brushes

paint brushes

I always got these cheap paint brushes unless I’m trying to do a really neat paint job. Otherwise, these are perfect for slapping on rust converter, under sealer and metal paint etc.

I said it was messy. Two of these sheets will save you a lot of time having to scrape paint off the floor.
