Okay...
I spoke to the NEW body guy today who is going to redo the paint job on the 914 conversion. Hopefully he can take the car in 2-3 weeks and then get it done in 30 days. Should be pretty easy since it is a stripped tub on a cart. I am also going to have Engman's inner long kit installed and fix some of the bodywork fuckups from the last body guy (don't ask). Since I am basically starting afresh, I am considering painting the underside (underside of floor pan, wheel wells, and everything below the engine tin seals) black. My thoughts are that the car is yellow and the suspension (front struts) and rear shocks are yellow. I'm thinking that this would show off the suspension better. I know Doug Leggins did this on his car and that I have seen several other restorations that have done this. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-2...-1109562333.jpg I noticed that Gint undercoated his 914-6 car and then painted it body color. http://www.914world.com/members/ginter/DSCN0257.jpg Here are my requests. 1. Looking for photos of freshly painted cars with the undersides painted black. 2. Options for undercoating (I know Wurth is really good). 3. Does POR make an undercoating option. I know they have a chassis black product. Might be good for added rust protection and to yield a nice satin finish 4. Painting over undercoating. What's the paint layer application.... primer, undercoasting and then paint? Or primer, paint, undercoating, and paint. Thanks! Qarl This is car similar to mine that someone from either Minnesota or North Dakota e-mailed me a few years back. I don't remember who it was... Attached image(s)

I agree with Eric Taylor......"Doug, you suck!" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Can't wait to see that car at the FFC this year! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif)
I stripped mine with a wire wheel (no rotisserie (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) ), "metal readied", POR-15'd, and then gave the entire thing a nice thick coating of 3M truckbed liner.......hope that does the trick, cause there's no friggin way I'm going to lay under that car for 2 weeks stripping and recoating it again! |

I'm not sure since it wasn't my car... I see what you are saying. Regardless, it was just an example of what *could* be done. Seems to work well. Later, Tom |
