Quick question, do you have pricing for your work - I guess every car is different. I just bought a 2013 '90 11,000 miles from LR and would like to get it protected before the rot starts! |

Thanks for your enquiry. PM sent with full details of chassis and bodywork interior and exterior, I do more parts than anyone else, from rear tub spreaders to sealing windows to treating bare metal under body cappings, engine bay brackets etc the list goes on, this isn,t a quick wash and whack it up on a ramp in a day and spray a thick coat hiding everything and trapping in moisture
 Most clients leave their Defenders with me for a week which helps as most come from all over the UK and even abroad. £490 to answer your question. I am booking from October at the moment.

Soo True I see a few come through the garage and the number of owners who have no intention of treating the underside is quite staggering. A 2010 90 the rear crossmember and most of the chassis has a nice russet hue as the surface rust has come through the woeful factory paint pretty much everywhere I saw a circa 2012 110 on the forecourt last week and the rear crossmember on each outrigger side had gone rusty through the paint. It's a common sight, yet the owners when having a chat always comment on price and market trends yet don't see they have wiped a chunk of value off by their own inactiveness. Also can be found on Fb, Ytube, Insta & Twitter @4WDSouthwest |

I have a 2007 in at the moment that has already been welded and had a 2008 that needed welding about a month ago. People don,t realise they rot from the inside out. Get them done properly and it will save a lot of hassle and money in the long run

Hi,
I have a couple of questions re professional Dinitrol coating. 1 - Is the external coating (chassis/diffs etc) usually a heavily textured finish or should it be smooth? 2 - Is it normal to coat all of the nuts, bolts, suspension shocks/springs and bushes etc. or should these all be masked before application? 3 - If normal do you need to pick it all off when you're servicing these parts and then does it need reapplying? 4 - How should the inside of the rear crossmember look after application? Does that have the cavity wax in it or the same external finish as the chassis (ie the bits you can see through the holes)? 5 - Any photos at all re the engine bay protection? Sorry for the questions, just need to be sure on a few things 
Thanks, Cheers, Andy... Edinburgh, Scotland http://24heuer.com |

Andy I cannot answer your questions without knowing a few specifics e.g. If they are directed at my work or someone in your area, which I presume is Scotland to determine which method of application they favour! Age of the vehicle, state of the chassis, wether it has been done before, which Dinitrol products to use from this, which nuts you refer to, etc etc.
Instead of going back and forth with posts which is time consuming for me, it would be easier if I could give you advice over the phone. I will be tied up this evening giving a client a lift to his final destination as he is coming all the way from Ireland tonight but will be free tomorrow. Tel 01403 784686 I will be tied up again with clients and working under a vehicle so if I miss your call leave a message and I will get back to you. |

Hi Zegato, thanks for the reply.
Sorry this isn't specifically directed at you or anyone in particular's work or indeed a particular vehicle - I'm just interested in the process and expected results, as looking at general googled photos on the web there doesn't seem to be much consistency. I'm happy to move this to a separate thread if you like(?) Or, maybe I just need to rephrase my questions. 1) based on googled photos some chassis coatings look smooth as if they're just painted, others look rippled and others look almost grainy - are they all correct? 2) I've noticed the shocks/springs/bushes and steering components/fittings are coated also in a lot of photos - I'm guessing that's fine and normal or should this be avoided? 3) If these fittings etc are coated and need to be replaced is it fine just to pick the coating off or would that compromise the adjacent coated areas and need re-coating? 4) Looking through the socket window on the rear crossmember should that be the same finish as the rest of the chassis exterior? 5) There's a Dinitrol engine compartment product (Corroheat 4010) - anyone used it and if so what does it protect? Thanks, Cheers, Andy... Edinburgh, Scotland http://24heuer.com |

1. What do you mean by correct? Depends on what is applied, how it is applied, how the metal was prepared, if it has been done before, how and what with.
2. Depends on how it is done, what is used, preferences by the client, what springs and shocks are being covered, there conditon etc... Some are too nice to spray! 3. Depends on what you are taking off, what was used, how it was applied, how thick it is, what condition it is in etc. 4. What do you mean by should? Depends on what product is used! 5. Depends on what you intend to protect. It was designed as an engine detailer but is used to protect the entire outside of road gritters for instance to mobile air plane steps, to engines, to brand new Morgan chassis, etc. It is heat resistant and clear so can be for many applications. I use it on the underside of show and brand new vehicles, bulkheads etc. It is useful where you want clear, smart protection rather than Dinitrol 4941 underbody wax black/brown protection. This will not have helped you as I don,t have the info to answer your questions. It,s not about re phrasing questions it,s about giving me more info to help me give you proper info. The answers you are looking for are not so "black and white". As said I can explain quickly and clearly over the phone rather than spend time going back and forth with posts! EDIT, just spoken to Andy. All clear and sorted now. Andy is practical and knows his Defenders which is half the battle. Good to talk to you Andy, shame we are not nearer each other.
