smokinv8 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Well its getting lighter nights and in good daylight now I realise my 90 needs sprucing up! The chassis although in very good nick now with only light surface rust does need a little work, and I wondered what paint and preperation I should use. Any advice guys?

crwoody Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 A good clean up with a wire brush wheel in the drill and then a coat of POR-15 (I swear by it!) followed by a coat of chassis black. POR-15 from here: - http://www.frost.co.uk/item_Detail.asp?productID=9069&frostProductName=Rust%20Preventative%20Paint%20%28473ml%29%20US%20Pint (I have no connection with the above company but so far as I know it's the only UK stockist.)

reb78 Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I havent used POR 15, some swear by it, some hate it. Same with hammerite paint (i hate it because rust seems to appear through this paint that is suposed to stop rust and i've tried every possible preperation technique) Its a really difficult thing to advise on because everyone says something different! My 110 chassis has a lot of paint left on it from the rear door forwards. Behind that is a bit rusty and i need to sort it out. I'm just going for a wire brush all over and then smothering it in waxoyl and topping up when required. I've done as far forward as the spring mounts (end of last summer) as i had the tank off to do the crossmember and that seems to have been ok so far. Once i have welded up the remaining hile behind the gearbox crossmember, i want to try and get someone to treat the inside of the chassis rails as i'm not convinced i can do it properly with the waxoyl pump myself. There is an article in one of the recent LROs that covers tis with their reccomendations as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokinv8 Posted March 18, 2010 Author Share Posted March 18, 2010 MODS, there were a couple of other comments on here that appear to have been removed? They were obviously light hearted comments between myself and Ross, is humour not allowed on here? Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 I was umming-arring as to whether I had clicked post or not? then got a notification, with no post from me showing Could mods at least give a PM with a reason rather than just deleting and no reason given??

carlosbeldia Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Here we don't have a producto like waxoyl, is it valid to fill inside the chasis with diesel? some friends of mine protect their frame this way in their Santanas, with really no concerns on rust. I live around 20 meters to beach, so rust is a relly big concern for me. How can I efectevely wash inside rails of the frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
defender dave Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 fibre glass resin is the best thing i have ever used with paint over the top it dose not flake of like normal pain .i did my 90 about 4 years ago ane it still looks like the day i did it. oh and i have tried wax oil and hammerite but it just dose not last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 The resin stuff sounds like a good idea . Bet it sticks like something to the proverbial blanket! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajh Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 If I was doing it again I would thin down some polyester bedliner about 40% and spray on a good couple coats and then give it 2 weeks to cure. That would never come off if done right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
