Refitting wings to chassis
Hi folks, I've read various posts on refurbishing inner and outer wings. Just one small detail Id love some opinion on from those with experience:
Scenario: inner wing refurb done, epoxy applied, stonechip and colour applied so back to 'looking factory finished' Outer wings also done. Stone chipped underside of those. Once re fitted my intention was to seam seal the join of inner and outer wings. Do people then stone chip or underseal on top of the seam sealer bead?? Slightly confused by this - especially if inner and outer are all neat and finished and colour matched. To hit the seam with more sealer/stonechip once wings bolted on seams strange! Thanks for the advice, |

When Porsche built the cars they went down the paint line assembled. Wings bolted on with the undercoating applied over the joining seams.
The undercoat got a light coat of paint just to cover in high visibility areas. In your case I would install the wings and then either spray more undercoat over the seam or go the brushable seam sealer route. You will have to apply more colour over that area. Kind of chasing your tail I know... Don't forget the dum-dum strip caulk that goes between the wings and the tub. Cooper |
