Hello,

After I have prepped certain areas under my mini and painted these areas in black hammerite (smooth) can Hammerite Wax oil (spray on type) underseal be applied over the hammerite or not?

Sorry, I'm still learning here.

Chris.

Don't see why not, it is a waxy coating meant as a final protection for painted underside. Minis need as much help as they can get, slosh it on !!

Thanks for this, this is what I wanted to do exactly, I want to paint the insides of my wheel arches in black hammerite and then apply hammerite wax oil underseal (spray on) over the top of this... Cheers for this.

Chris.
