#3
I was outside painting for around 2/3 hours I'd say. I already had all my exhaust and everything else removed.

Thanks for the info...looks very nice!
I brushed it on. I ordered a quart, and I didn't even use half of it. For prep, sprayed the hell out of the underbody with "Purple Power" degreaser and brake cleaner, several times, and scrubbed it really well. After all that I rinsed everything good with the hose and let it air dry. Then I took a wire brush on a drill and cleaned up any surface materials, followed by a wipedown with rust neutralizer. Let it air dry again, then brushed it on.

Thanks everyone! I was working pretty quickly to be honest, and it wasn't too bad under there to begin with. And Dope, you got that right.. it isn't fun lol. I finished this 6 days ago and some of the POR-15 JUST peeled off my face.

That looks really damn good man you did a great job on it.. You should at least put together a list of materials with pictures of the products and a small half-assed writeup.
I wanna do this to my Jeep and my Firebird (if I keep it that is)

I just did the same thing to the underside of my mother's jeep. Looks great, will keep the rust away, but a real pig to brush on. If I had the time and patience I'd remove the axles, linkage, gas tank, and exhaust, mask things off, and use my paint gun. Definitely a good deal of work right there.

After all the abuse of putting my headers back in, scraping them along the driveway, and the beating one side got today IN the engine bay, there isn't even so much as a scrape or a mark on them. Granted that doesn't say anything for longevity but they can damn sure take a punch.
This is all I used, and if you didn't notice, I did my headers as well as the y-pipe with one can.
Thanks again everyone. Like I said I'm loving it more and more as I see it. I'll definitely keep that writeup idea in mind if you guys would really like one. I have more!
