Under Floor Protection

Postby Niall » Sun Nov 19, 2006 6:15 pm

My chassis is built, just awaiting the torsion axle. As the next step is my floor and i'm unsure about something - i thought i'd ask whats the common theory !
An insulated sandwich floor, i'm using "brush on" automotive under body protectant & sound deadener ( at least at this stage that’s what i'm thinking of using ).

My Question : Do i only coat the surface facing the road, or should i also coat the interior surfaces of the sandwich ? Or if need be should i use two different sealers in these two area's ?


Thanks all,

Niall.

My floor is kind of unusual, not a sandwich floor but not a solid one piece floor. Check my album to see how I did my floor. Everything that went into making the floor is painted on all sides. In the end I will apply automotive undercoating on the bottom. But I have it easy, just take it to work, up on the hoist and spray the undercoat on.
