I`m getting some welding done to the floor of my capri tomorrow whats the best paint to use on inside floor pan after its done ???

anti rust primer and then something along the lines of hammerite should do the job

yes i think so

no mate, zinc primer is commonly known as weld - thru primer. you put it inside sections where you won't be able to get to after welding.

 

etch primer is for putting on bare metal as it adheres to the metal better than normal primer and is the best base coat before normal primer.

 

for your floor i'd use a rust preventative then some hammerite. don't bother using zinc or etch primer as its expensive and you dont really need it

Is it ok to just put underseal underneath on the welds or do is it need painting first ???

[Tom]

i'd use seam sealer first then primer then underseal mate
