What paint can be used to paint under van

Greetings, I did my underbody three months ago. I used SEPTONE, "Brushcote BODY DEADENER" which comes as a spray can, and in 4 litre tins from any automotive storre. I tried all methods to apply it, spray is very expensive, but gets to areas you cannot get to otherwise. I did most of the work with a stiff OLD brush. The roller was a failure. I looked like an ancient british "tar" (sailor). You will nedd excellent ventillation (the bitumen has carcinogens in it) old old clothing including hair cover, gloves etc which all need to be disguarded. I am very pleased with my result, but it took many days. As a uni student I worked in a crash repair shop, where I saw all methods used for this application. My job took about 6 litres. Good luck. Warwick.

When I did mine, using a brushcote bitumen stuff I bought a paper set of overalls from Bunnings for about $10 I think. They come complete with a hood and were strong enough to withstand crawling underneath a few times. However, drop TOO much paint on them in the one spot and it will seep through.

I too use the same product, As i remember a long time ago they used to sell body deadner as a spayable product that you then used in a special spray gun, this was a gun that was designed for this purpose and still had after 30 years, so i just thin it doen with turps and sprayed away and took no time at all and the turps evaporates very quickly and it leaves a nice even coat and a good finish, from memory it was a 50/50 mix. gave the paint brush away after about 10 minutes.(way too much like hard work)

Hi

Just get the steptone body deadener from super cheap autos in the pressure pack can it took 5 cans to do our twenty footer.

This is the product Bushtracker use for there touch ups

Here's what I use, it's a very good method. Of course, you need an air compressor for the gun. The spray gun was very cheap and included a flexible hose to get into the awkward places.
