PAPA-K Backyard Mechanic Registered: 08/18/03 Posts: 262 Loc: Buffalo Minn	What is the proper name of the paint of the undercarriage? the red oxide brownish looking color of the floorpans trunk interior floor etc? I have decided I need some (and I need it now or whenever I find out what it is) for my project. Thank you in advance

bowtieollie Backyard Mechanic Registered: 12/15/01 Posts: 255 Loc: Philadelphia, PA	Hi Papa, When the car was built, it was red oxide primer and was lacquer based. Today, most of us restoring these cars are using red oxide primer- but its EPOXY or a 2K paint system. Much better at corrosion protection and durability than the old lacquer was. Hope that helps... _________________________ Oliver J. Giorgi Technical Advisor 1958 Passenger Car
