Restore paint on front underbody protective plate
1 Attachment(s)
Hi.
Has someone tried to restore paint/surface of the front underbody protective plate? Is it possible? The surface on mine looks pretty bad (see picture) and I am wondering if it can be restored DIY or best by specialist shop. Thanks. |

1. Can it be done without loosening the bolts? 2. Would you be able to suggest the exact products for all three steps? 3. How long did it take, step by step? 4. Best done in summer? I am a lamer for paint jobs, so all new to me. |
Did mine a couple of year ago, used spray silver smoothrite.
It's not too difficult to remove, probably quicker than leaving it in situ and farting about masking everything off. |
Bit of a wiggle and it comes off fairly easily.
Did mine with Volvo silver and added a bit of chrome wrap highlights :-) http://i1193.photobucket.com/albums/...0/IMG_7840.jpg |
I took mine off last year and had it blasted and powder coated,
I then wrapped it with a clear film before refitting it |
Blast and powder car for me
Had mine blasted and powder coated a couple of years ago and still looks good.
Just four bolts to drop it off, but I also had to loosen the fixings for the power steering cooler to allow it more wiggle room. Cost me £50 all in. if you are anywhere near North Lincolnshire PM me and I can recommend one. If not there will be one local to you. |

Dont have the possibility to take it off myself, so looks like a trip to the workshop for me. |

The front fixings actually hook over the crossmember, so it needs pulling forward before it drops down.
(That is why I needed to loosen the power steering cooler to give clearance) hope the photos help. |
