Hi all, Recently I have seen some pictures of minis with the undercarriage painted the same colour as the car. What are your thoughts on this? Should or shouldn’t I do this using this product from auto barn Car Builders TXT 2K Tintable Texture Coating Kit 1L - 2KTINTKIT1L I’m planning on painting the mini Gambier Turquoise |

And while I’m at it, any recommendations for the subframes? |

This video uses a similar tinted under body paint. I want to do this to my mini when I've got some time and some space to make a mess getting the old coating off https://youtu.be/44vcVEFkGHA?si=aZWweoimxjzvHyBt |

For subframes, suspension arms etc I’m using this stuff. It’s amazingly tough and similar to POR15 in that it’s a moisture cure coating. https://www.kbs-coatings.com.au/how-to- ... tructions/ I’ve tried rattle can epoxy paints but they all seem to scratch very easily. |

The kBS system is very good - an excellent hard wearing finish on the clubman chassis after sandblasting. I used the KBS satin topcoat over the normal gloss finish. |

I also used KBS for my Range Rover chassis and suspension. Attachment: 9CED1167-C98C-4E5D-8089-538948BDC4E8.jpeg I went through the entire three step process, Rust Blast, Aquacleen and Rust Seal. I used gloss. Phil |

Obviously you need to buy the schutz gun, and take safety precautions using the product. They also do a 1k product, which is good as well, as you can use half a tin and put the left overs away for later, whereas the 2k, you need to use it all once catalysed. I am thinking of doing one of my cars using a 1k product called Voodoo Liner. |
