Can't you just paint them while they're still on?

I'm going to do the same, but would rather not take them off.

Would dry better in this weather mind you, but a pain in the ass.

hairytoes,
I took them off because I have wire brushed them and degreased them properly.
it could be done in situe on one side, however its not a propper job really, I want to do it right ( even tho just brushed ) and to dry it you could use a heat gun I guess....but still might as well do it right - saves doing it again and having twice the job to do :)

Cant wait till better weather so I can clean up and paint the entire underbody :) - I might not be able to afford expensive kits for lift etc, but I can make it better with paint and graft :)

Another tip for you hairytoes......
stick the tin of paint in a tub of hot water..... you can get a pritty good finish if the paints hot when applied ;)
