As you all know last year I went quite extreme with it and I did every single panel and behind it too went ott ut so far not a single spec of rust, how ever I'm still not 100% satisfied.

All the rest of the car is done just the underneath I haven't finished it off yet.
I've has red oxide three coats since last year and I'm happy too say none of its flaked off which is great, Still with the underneath of the car exposed too salt grit road debris etc I still want too do even more and I will ;)

Been too BNQ today and bought myself a tin of Layland Trade Anti Corrosive paint, Red oxide does just that as well but I want too add more thickness and coats for even more greater protection.

then I'll use my favourite Gravitex stone chip protector like have done everywhere else, then red oxide again and more coats of the layland trade paint in the colour I'm after other coat of Gravitex and then I can finally do other coat of red oxide and then I can paint it in any colour of my choosing. :D

I don't think it will rust in a very long time did the same in the inside.
Its almost bomb proof and extreme. :D

Anyone got any story's of there rust proofing of there cars happy here what other great ideas that people have though up in the past, shame we can't use old engine oil, then again environmental health would get us for that.

when the weather gets better it will be back too painting once again, Its been over a year now and impressed that none of the paint has hardly flaked off, Its only three coats, But I still want too try and give it even more great protection so.

Bought some layland trade paint have a crack at that then start the whole process I did again with gravitex and paint over it and keep repeating it till I get board then hopefully it should last.
They need to clean all this c,r,a,p underneath first tho.:D

BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anti-rust afterwords cover is an art.
You should speak and take an advice with a chemist.
Otherwise it is waste of money for sure.

Back at it once again with the heat starting too build up again and getting warmer with each passing day, No better time too start painting once again. :D

Used the whole tin underneath good four coats may seem like over kill but the end result will be worth it.

Just got too let harden propyl.

Then I can start applying Gravitex which will protect all this I've painted. :D
Once that's fully dried I can paint it what ever colour I like. :D

Finish off my rust proofing and get my panels back on exterior clips broken but that's okay I'll just make sure damn sure I'm happy with everything before I put the panels back on. :D

Once its all done and dried I can paint underneath with blue hammerite paint once its fully hardened and dried. :D

Mabey I should do this for a living preserve and help others preserve cars. :D

Hiya all just want too ask just too make sure I'm doing this right.

It regards too paint drying time, When I paint the first coat I normally give it 1 hour too to be touch dry and then I give it other coat once again.

and I keep doing that till its finished and leave it for 24 hours before putting anything else on top.

Am I doing this right?

I know with spraying the drying time can be different with the thinners and harden mixed but with something that's brushed on I can take longer.

I've bought some paint today and each coat you have too give it 16 hours before you can put other coat on.

I started panicking I thought or damn I've not been letting it fully harden long enough, but had no problems tho.

Had enough of this now.

I'll be glad when all this beeping painting is over I've had enough of painting now. :duh:

My stone chip stuff has fully hardened for the last few days, just waiting really so I can give it a top coat and be done with it.

I hope too god this works in total I've spent on rust proofing everything.
£200 pounds worth paint has gone into this car.

Hopefully I've stopped judgement day or delay it even longer. :D

So that's

3 coats of red oxide.
3 coats of British layland anti rust paint.
3 coats of Gravitex stone chip paint.
Finally 1 coat done other two too go Hammerite garage door paint Oxford blue. :D

So do you reckon I've done enough I like too think I have. :D
