Looks great. I can't imagine the time you spent cleaning the bottom of the car. What did you use to clean it, a needle scaler? Your epoxy looks real close to the color of the factory dip primer too.

I have lots of time into this…first I was only going to degrease it and leave it…then it had some surface rust on couple edges and I was going to do some touch ups….then I said well I’m into it this far I might as well repaint the whole bottom..
I wired wheeled the whole bottom with a drill…then epoxy..
Then topcoat it with 3 coats dip color paint

Painting some parts to take a break from the body

I mostly cleaned it with Mothers all purpose cleaner..scrubbed and scrubbed…then wired wheeled it inch by inch…I took a kids swimming pool and hose into garage sprayed car let it go into pool and dragged it out to empty it …haha…no kidding…I wasn’t planning on redoing anything with the car except going through driveline …and here I am
