Finnishing off Pressbrakes x-member

muddybootson · Jun 2, 2013

Hello. Just got the landy back complete with new crossmember

I have given the x-member two coats of red oxide, and Im going to paint it black with hammarite, and tetroseal the rear of the x-member. What Im wondering is should I hammarite the rear of the x-member as well as tetroseal it, or just tetroseal over the red oxide?

I will post up some pics once its done.

Thanks, Ash

Usually putting anything on top of Hammerite (other than Hammerite) causes a reaction and all the paint falls off. Tetrosyl Chassis Paint is good, a few coats of that all over should be fine.

Did you remove the mill scale before you painted it? as in getting it all shiny

Nice touch I thought

This is what I have just done:-

Extra coats, all round, of Red Oxide followed by Hammerite smooth black top coats.

And, Hammerite Underbody Seal with added Waxoyl on the inside.

Not sure if my three give a toss about anything but sleeping, eating & picking up.
