Painting underside of Defender?

Mr S1 · Nov 27, 2016

Had mine professionally Dinitrol'd about six weeks back. Every cavity, nook and cranny soaked in the stuff. Wasn't cheap but I couldn't be done with the mess so let someone who knows what they're doing do it properly and clear up afterwards. Money well spent in my book.

That is a good price. I have only tried one local indy LR garage and their quote was 450!

Some might say that is too cheap!

Proper job takes a lot of time, prep, drying, spraying, drying again.

Would you do all that for £150, and pay for equipment, materials, and the costs of premises to do it?

TOTALLY agree I would need to see at least 450 before I considered that filthy job, certainly wasn't a criticism of my local landy garage ( they are outstanding truth be told).

Not saying it cant be done thoroughly for £150, but it would result in an incredibly low hourly rate for the operator.

My Dinitrol was a bit more than £450....but it had two full coats inside the chassis and out.

Maybe expensive, but it's been heavily put on and done properly so money well spent in my book. It can go out in the winter weather now without having to worry.

yes! my new 110 has moisture build up at the point the front end of the flat bed where it meets the front seats so want to get the underside and top looked at and dried out before I wack whatever of the above suggestions I end up going with.

Need to get it done sharpish if you plan on using it throughout the winter. You can jet wash off regularly throughout the winter, but it means the chassis won't get dry.
