Default time to under seal and paint the underneath

as the car has hit the 10 year old mark thought it was time to treat the
underneath to a lick of satin black paint and some dinitrol 4941 underseal.

still got the alloy bottom arms to clean/polish up along with the big U frame and some new wheel arch liners to finish the job off,plus plan to treat inside all the doors and inside the boot area for the arches next weekend with some dinitrol .

To be honest mate it be pretty expensive the paint is cheap but its all bout time you put in,you can get it in aerosols ,all tho i cannot comment on them as never used them or there is companies who undertake this type of work.
Is the classic tidy underneath as i like to take the rust preventative rather then the rust treatment route.

Just good old elbow grease really, as the car is low miles its pretty tidy really more dirty than rust but was a case of spending good few hours stripping and cleaning with wire brush/drill brush/grinder with sanding disc and degreasing with g101 and few litres of brake cleaner then grease everything back up as i fitted it .
Industrial cellulose satin black with good pigment covering and hard wearing along with 3 1/2 litres dinitrol 4941 underbody protection.
All sprayed using a compressor and shutz gun for dinitrol so nice coverage
Gonna do inside doors and boot area weekend.
