recommendation for stone chip & seam sealer?

[ChrisC]

A local 'highly regarded' Jaguar restorer recommended that i use Glasubrit anti stone chip paint as it dries the hardest they have seen - but i cant seem to be able to buy it anywhere (not being in the trade).

Any suggestions?

Alternatively any other suggestions for both a seam sealer then anti stone chip paint?

I am initially filling the seams with POR15 regardless because i like it...

Cheers

Funny that !

I did that not too long ago on one of my 4WD.

I repainted the sills with POR 15, sprayed some WURTH gravel protection,waited a week to dry up properly and colour coded the lot !

One of the pro I'm dealing with, told me the secret is in the thickness of the protection, thick but not too thick !!!!! :?

I must say that you cannot go wrong with POR 15, except when you need to remove it !!
Then, the cursing begin !!!

Chris, I think that it was Novol that we used as a seam sealer, but any professional stuff will do. Go to a paint / body supply motorfactors...not Halfords!

I wanted to use stone chip on the underside, but the bodyshop guy persuaded me against it. He used a 'soft' underseal that forms a skin, which if hit by a stone, will merge back together. Hard underseals can crack over time or if hit by sharp objects and let water in underneath, doing more harm than if you didn't use an underseal at all.

Get a copy of Practical Classics...they usually have plenty of ads for such stuff.

Bottom line is that you're probably not going to use the car in salty conditions, so whatever you use the car will outlast you!!

Actually my not using the car on salty roads is a good point :o) makes some of the decision making easier

I used one of my E Types in the salt once. Never again. I had all sorts of bits of rust starting to come through. Quite happy in the rain but not salt.
