    Hello Guys,

    Tuwing kelan dapat nag rere-apply ng undercoat? Malapit na mag 1 year yung innova namin and napansin ko me mga na chipped off na sa initial undercoat ng casa(sobrang nipis lang).

    Thanks

    Dapat ba sa dealer ipa undercoat or pede sa mga gasoline station(na pwede mo pa i supervise). Will it void any warranty on the vehicle?

    Thanks!

    sir.. AFAIK.. may 1 year warranty ang rustproof/undercoat sa dealer so pwede mo ipa undercoat ulit sa kanila yan kung wala pang 1 year unit mo..

    yung sakin kse ganun.. not sure kung ganun din dealer mo sir.. i verify mo na lang sir kse sayang din yun..

    ilang patong ba ang advisable? me nagsabi kasi sakin na madaling mabakbak pag makapal ang undercoat. sa vios kasi 2 liters daw ang isang coat at 3 to 4 liters ang mauubos pag 2 layers ng undercoat.

    some vehicle manufacturers stopped undercoating their products for two main reasons: to keep the car lighter, and, to prevent salt laden moisture from accumulating and getting trapped between the substrate metal and the undercoat.
    what i have tested and proven on some of my cars, on the underside and the front around and below the radiator which is prone to splash from the vehicle ahead of you, is to apply vaseline or wheel bearing grease with a paintbrush to the susceptible areas. i tested this on a jeep wrangler, mazda 323, toyota previa, suzuki sx4 and other vehicles. apply the grease only in areas that are out of plain view and hardly if ever washed. the objective is to seal the metal from oxygen.

    This make sense sa old perception ko about additional undercoating.

    Yung Everest ko hindi lahat sa ilalim may undercoat, yung gawing tapat ng gulong lang ang mayroon.

    Yung tangke ng fuel at ibang parts sa ilalim ay oily ang finishing after the plain paint.

    Yung chasis na lang ang plano kong papatungan ng pintura especially dun sa mga welded parts, but not exactly an undercoat paint.
