I'm using 2 layers of EP (Epoxy Primer), the tunnel will be "plamuren", then all the seams of the chassis will be sealed with "strijkkit", then all the underside of the chassis and trailingarms will be set in "Bodyschutz", then most things will be painted in red or black 2K-paints, and as finish everything will be shot in clear.

For all the paint I use 2K.

p.s. for the thing in the " .. " I don't know the English translation of it.

Yesterdayevening I worked from 7 till 11.30p.m. on my car. Checked several lose pieces of the chassis, brushed some things clear and stored them warm and dry.
After that I got further with the list of bolts and to buy thing till 1.00 a.m.

Very nice. Im not sure what brand your using for the under coating of the chassis, but i would recomend using a product from Wurth thats called SKS Black.... or if you wanted to paint it body color with stone protection (EXACTLY LIKE PORSCHE UESED) you could use the SKS Grey. the only down side to the Wurth product is that you must use the Wurth Multi sprayer for there products to look correct (looks like the fatory porsche under coat).
We use it a lot on restorations at work... it's the only way to make it look factory porsche. but it would be nice on a beetle to!

The brand I use for undercoating is Teroson. And I use the grey one.. for an faster and les use of the red paint.

Wurth is also verry good stuff.

Some little update off yesterday.
Bought myself an threatmeasurementtool and checked every lose thing of my car. Measured everything again. And now my list is for 97% completed.

TIME TO BUY SOME NEW STUFF next week.

I planon using Por15 on my chasis. What do you guy's think.

[Racelook]

I heared several good things of them.

I stay with EP because then I can also bondo right on it (because there is not going any interior in).

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo what an day was yesterday. This project will be my dead once

Yesterday I maked an 13 hours day at my car.
At 11 o'clock I was in the cold barn. Begun to brush the gearbox clear. What an piece of $h!TT to do... but yeaahhhhhh.


Then brushed some other lose things clear. Blew the tunnel clean. Masked some holes. Also hanged several things and ungreased them.

Then mixed the paint. So I could shot the layers of EP around midnight.
At first the inside of the tunnel.


Then the lose things.


I could be some nice end of an long day. But I was forgotten that my brother had cleaned the paintinggun and that I haddend to thinner the paint soo much
