Rick if you go to my web site then click on British Car Pages then Technical/FAQ
you'll find a link to a site about do it yourself painting that may answer some
of your questions.

> Hi V8 list,

> Any paint experts out there. I'm about to paint my dipped / primed body
> shell and am looking for opinions on what / how to paint it. I'd like a
> tough, durable finish that looks great and is easy to maintain but doesn't
> cost a fortune. I'm thinking of one coat of polyurethane on the whole car,
> inside, underside, outside, and then a second coat on the outside. I
> understand with the polyurethane paint there's no need for a clear coat.
> What about the underside. Should I skip the color coat and just put on a
> rust proofing undercoat ? Is there a rust treatment to put on before the
> color coat, or should I just Waxoyl after painting ?
>
> Thanks for the help.
