Undersealing & Underbody Rust Repairs in Levin – Marty's Panel & Paint Ltd
At Marty’s Panel & Paint Ltd, we offer expert undersealing and rust repair services to protect your vehicle's chassis and extend its lifespan. Rust damage is often only discovered during a Warrant of Fitness (WOF) or Certificate of Fitness (COF) inspection—by then, repairs can be extensive and costly. Preventative maintenance, like undersealing, can save you significant time and money in the long run.
What is Undersealing?
Undersealing is the application of a protective coating to the underbody or chassis of a vehicle. It shields against moisture, road salt, and impact damage from loose stones, which are common causes of corrosion and rust formation.
Our Process for Rust Repairs & Underbody Protection
When you bring your vehicle in for undersealing or rust repair, our trained technicians follow a thorough process to ensure maximum protection:
-
Vehicle Inspection: We begin with a full underbody inspection to assess any existing rust or corrosion and determine the appropriate treatment.
-
Steam Cleaning: The underside of your vehicle is steam cleaned to remove dirt, grease, and contaminants.
-
Masking & Preparation: The vehicle is lifted and masked to avoid overspray or contamination during treatment.
-
Rust Removal: Excess surface rust is wire-wheeled and cleaned to prepare for rust conversion.
-
Rust Conversion: An industrial-grade epoxy rust converter is applied to neutralize remaining rust and prevent further spread.
-
Underseal Application: Finally, we apply a high-quality, water-based underseal. This environmentally friendly product provides long-lasting protection—typically for the life of the vehicle. If the underbody becomes damaged in the future, we can reapply the coating as needed.
