pressure washed underneath last weekend
not too bad. once i've treated and dealt with the rust i'd like to paint in with the same sort of yellow stonechip paint that suzi used. any ideas what brand this would be.
I also need to replace a rear wheel arch panel any ideas on what the grey underseal is? or is it just a generic?
thanks

Re: OEM underbody paint?
Hmm. I have a Vit and the underseal was never yellow. Is your car that colour, if so you could be just looking at paint! I'd just use plain old black underseal...works fine and not that expensive.
If it ticks over...leave it

Tetra schutz is used by a few of us. It's pretty much standard underbody stone chip.

Mine is a 2000 an also uses that yellow underseal, I think it was painted over when I bought it new but the paint didn't stick that well.

It's definitely an ex-factory coating. I'll ask my local Suzi dealer and report back
