It was so long ago I'm not sure I can re-call. I will see if I turn anything up in my book of receipts. I do remember the shocks are HD Sears shocks with big pistons that I picked up on sale. They may have come gray as a coincidence. A lot of the other detail was with Eastwood restoration paints (sway bars, etc). I did replace the half shafts (one had a slight twist to it that probably had something to do with the hole in the floor pan) and I cleared them with semi- gloss. Same for the dreiveshaft that I had re-tubed and cleared. But, remember - this was all before I even owned a computer and I was just winging it from what ever books or magazines I could find on restoring Corvettes. There is more incorrect than correct there. I did it with an eye more towards durability and trying to not look too obviously incorrect to the average guy on the street.
Thanks

DansYellow66. What kind of paint did you use?
I know a lot use POR-15 on the underside of the car
This result is looking really good

Exactly .. So why don't you just leave it at that instead of coming off as the second coming of Freud.
Every answer is just an opinion.
There are people here that answer either "Black or white" there are no grey areas. So if you suggest a spray can, you are suggesting a professional, application that forever seals the bottom of the car. He knows better, everyone here knows he knows better. But he wanted to take the shot.
Another Black or white...... ANYONE that sprays the underside of their car is HIDING something. Because as the poster suggested, "Its the ONLY reason you would do so.
This comments come across as nothing else but silent insinuations of a greater plot by people here to hide damage to their cars.
Curiously you can spray paint to create "originality" but you can't spray paint because you like the underside of your car "purple" ? Its obvious you would ONLY do it, to hide something, thats the only reason?
This is has nothing to do with disagreeing with what I offer. I expect to be disagreed with. hzz has a special reason for disagreeing. He and I both understand that.
