Undersealing the Van

Post by dazzler441 »

I'm getting the van ready for winter and whilst the weather is good want to get the undersealing done. I know most people would use the Hammerite Underbody sealant, but a friend of mine who restores classic cars has suggested using Chlorinated Rubber Paint, a company called Teamac produce the stuff but it's expensive at £65 + VAT for a 5l tin. Apparently this stuff is used for marine purposes and protects against oil, humidity, chemical spills (including battery acid) and is a once only approach. Has anybody ever used this stuff or shall I stick with the trusty Hammerite?

All advice appreciated.
Thanks

get a compressor or the use of and use the spray stuff. warm the cans up a little first though. it is amazing. just like painting. just mask areas you dont want to get it on but you can be very accurate with it. machine mart do it. 4 tins at £6 each will do the lot inc wheel arches and the gun is about £20.
