Rust protection and undercoating
Hey y’all, I was going to undercoat my xj. Current looks of it aren’t terrible but there are definitely some tlc it needs. I attached some pics of what it looks like currently. It has the original undercoating and paint still on it but I live at the beach and want to prevent anything down the line
what I was going to do:
1: air needle everything down and sand
2: apply degreaser to clean, pressure wash and let dry
3. apply Rust Kutter then dry and pressure wash
4. apply rust reformer paint from rustoleum
5. Apply B’laster surface shield
I have a air compressor and would spray it through a air gun in the frame as well. Besides the rust reformer that can in cans
thoughts?

I like your plan
I live beside the ocean over 50yrs.
You can only have too little rust prevention, never too much
Spray inside things (including uniframe) using an air gun with long nozzle, they are made for the job and very cheap
Go insane, the inner pillars, inside doors, the XJ allows for it
Yours appears to have some corrosion. I would examine those areas for possible repair, as once red rust forms, its hard to stop, depends on how serious you are about keeping it
