Spray Job

My Blowjob

Been busy yesterday, decided to under body seal the underneath and rear wheel arches before they start to rust. Brought a couple can of under body seal and wire brush. Popped into my old work place, asked if I could borrow a ramp for a few hours then wash my car.

Ramped the vehicle and begun sanding down the old body sealer, surface rust and dirt/grime. WD40 the suspension bushes, exhaust bushes, steering bushes etc keep them work nicely. Coated the under body with the 1st layer of sealer, left it to dry for 30 – 40 mins. I then removed the rear wheels and started removing all the crap from the arches.

I was surprised that there were no plastic guards, but hey that’s jap. Before I started spraying the inner arches I thought it be a good idea to mask off the arches where over spray could possible go. Then began the 1st layer on the rear arches. Left them to dry for 30 mins which allowed me time to then coated the 2nd layer on the under body. Finished off the rear arches, remove the tap which was cover’d in over spray oops.

Refitted the rear wheels and drove her round to the wash bay as now the car was a right mess. Here are the pics from yesterday.

Very pleased that I had the chance to prevent rather that repair the rust, as I now know how bad Nissan’s of this age get it. It now looks better than how it came out the factory – FACT.

Sorry for the sheer amount of pics, however thanx for looking.

That looks *loads* better, time clearly well spent!
I`d love some of those ramps so I could finish my undersealing in relative comfort...
 
all though not noticable on the road, thats a bloody good and very important mod you've done there. Great thinking
 
Yeah cheers David, im on the case.
So far ive done the spare wheel well, N/S/F wing, N/S/R wheel arch, and N/S outer sill
Had the skirts off, and its spotless.

I'll be giving it the full treatment,same as the TSi, which also includes inside the sills too.
 
See in pic 11 and 12... is that the only part of the rear arches you done, did you do all in round the suspension? as in in behind it etc?.. :)
 
Cheers....

See what you said about putting wd40 beofre hosing to get all the dirt off... wouldn't WD40 not repell the water?

P.s.. (Sorry for the silly questions.. i never done this before and just want to do it right and i appreciate your help....) :clap:
