Pleasure 👍
This is a chassis I did last week, you can just see the shinier, wetter looking patches of the ACF-50 underneath the matt Dinitrol still to dry, pics taken a day after top coat 🙂  Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge This is pretty much a dry, non tacky, not streaky, smart, uniform matt black finish. Just a few bits still to go off. Click image to enlarge Top tip... if you have any stickers, chassis labels or nice shock absorbers etc, you can use Dinitrol clear Corroheat as pictured here. It all matches up as you can see. This is all ACF-50'd apart from the actual sticker, clear coat on the whole flat chassis side and 4941 either side of the main panel where the suspension brackets are it all matches the same colour.

The footwell photo at the start of this thread doesn't seem to be painted. These are mine:
Click image to enlarge Click image to enlarge They appear to have a dusting of paint, but are in what looks to me like good condition after ten years or so. is there a reason why the large area isn't painted, this vehicle has had dinitrol I think, a while ago, but the footwells have been left. Is this where POR15 rust preventative paint would be a good idea? Has the footwell at the start of the thread actually been painted? Andrew |

As you say they may have a dusting of outer main body over spray but no not intentionally painted apart from what the panel already has on it prior to cutting and assembly. Clear Dinitrol Corroheat is one very way to go... this picture from a silver 90 in at the moment prior to treatment... no outerbody over spray either! The majority of the underneath panel areas are the very last to corrode if not in a high abrasion area. Covering whole panels with paint or thick underseal quite often traps moisture underneath especially if you are sealing in panels where they overlap. Common to see rot where people have done this. Remember Defenders leak and you leave no where for the moisture to get out... especially around the footwell and rear rub!

A couple of years ago I had a half chassis replacement and the whole underside was treated with buzweld. Although its still in good condition, the front could do with some TLC and the whole thing could just do with a touch up. What I really like about it is that I can get up close with and personal with a jetwash and clean it off without damaging the paint.
Is this something dinitorl will stand up to? Or if I went this route would I need to be gentle with the jet wash? |
