Most people just paint everything underneath with the same paint that they use for everything on top, just like the factory did. :-)

I am happy with the way what I did looks, shot around the wheel wells and other areas that might be seen but the part that no one sees but the road I have to find something less expensive and maybe even thicker for better protection. I had thought of POR15 but that seems overkill also, I need good rust protection now that the rust is gone, something chip resistant would be great. I am thinking some kind of rubbery paint would be better. My last car had a actual frame and wooden floor boards so I used chassis black and varnish on it, this one of course does not have a full frame and not sure what to use.

Body will be painted in what I hope to be a good 7ft. paint job, I generally can do a good 10ft. paint job but i am hoping to do better this time around and get it down to 7ft. or so.
