No worries, you must be so chuffed

[ToM 2012]

i am chuffed but i have noticed tonight that it could of been prepped more as there is a few places that needed abit more work. but he did say take it back to him once i have finished it and he is going to do any little touch ups and mop and wax it all for me hopefully i dont scratch the paint work when putting doors on and etc. thanks tom

question whats the best way of putting waxoil underneath? thanks tom 

[Hendred]

I tend to use the underseal in a tin with a brush which has added waxoyl on flat surfaces such as floor and then the spray for covered areas, inside the sills etc even though I have painted with the underseal as well.

 

Presume your not painting the underneath with underseal with that nice paint job?  I would spray and brush it on but I am sure someone else has a strategy.

thanks hendred i have some clear waxoil i want to get it on this week so i can fit brake pipes and etc weekend or next week. i wasnt sure if spraying it on would be hard to do undeneath on my back or do it with a brush and give it a couple of coats? i have never used the stuff before.. thanks tom

I would spray it on Tom.

 

Is the wax you have they type with the hose and lance, or is it a normal aerosol?

[ToM 2012]

What about if it goes on the paint work wouldn't it reck it? It's a big metal tub would need tipping into a spray gun or into a painting kettle to brush it.. Cheers

[Ben_O]

Wax won't react with the paintwork and if sprayed on, it's easy to control so over spray wouldn't be a problem

 

You would get far better coverage if you spray it on too.

 

Car looks spot on by the way!

I would definitely mask at least the lower body off, I've had the job of cleaning waxoyl over-spray off paint before!

 

Looks great by the way! white is the best colour for a mini 

[Hendred]

If spraying it on I would put some plastic or something on the floor, it can get messy.
