Item Subject: Bare Metal Finishing
My opinion on undercoating is that I'd rather not have it on my Tiger.
You probably aren't planning to drive it year round in winter
conditions, right? With plain painted metal, you can see any rust
that's starting. There have been many cases where metal has rusted
away behind thick undercoatings.
Just slide under with a wire brush and a can of black Rustoleum (or
whatever) once or twice a year, and you're all set.

Any ideas, opinions how best to finish bare metal. Like after sand
blasting. Maybe Eastwoods CORROLESS or does Ace Harewares X-RUSTO work just
as well.
Also, is it best to reapply the undercoating to the bottom of the Tiger or
leave it painted for easier touch up.
