smooth black underseal type spray?
« on: November 17, 2025, 04:10:48 PM »
So on my Beta, below the door, sills level, and all the way around its has been painted with a hideous always wet stuff that can only be described as wet tar with mixed in sand. 

I can see that this age of Beta should have this area black, so was on the look out for a smooth drying substance.  I was thinking in the Spring I will take some petrol to it and I think it will remove really easy.  I will undercoat with maybe BH Electrox or similar.  Any thoughts of something I could look at to get the finish I need?

Hi

I had not realised the later cars had black under the doors, guess to match in with the black of the stainless around the screen and doors etc. There should be a line of a rough chip protect layer under the black colour. John my body guy used Gravitex from memory on the HPE (and probably on the Spider).
