I did contemplate hammerite on the chassis then Waxoyl on everything but was dubious about preventing the Waxoyl from having direct contact with the metal & doing its wonderful work. Plus I wouldn't be able to paint top of chassis. I did the hammerite & Waxoyl thing on my first disco in 1997 ish & was confidant with it. I have a 1995/6 p38 as well as disco, the chassis on that is ad good as the day it left the factory, for 13 years I have never got around to Waxoyling it & its fine. I got the disco last year but never got around to looking at it properly until it was tested a month ago. Whilst I was underneath it I realised how poor it was compared to the p38 With the whole surface pitted with a bit of sharing in places. Its still solid but I would like to keep it that way ha ha
