Default Under body painting

Does anyone have any suggestions for how I might go about stripping and repainting my underbody with minimal part removal (IE Drivetrain, suspension, etc)?

Default RE: Under body painting

i did mine last year, however i had everything off the underside. But i guess you could do it this way; go to home depot or something like that a get yourself a bottle of the nastiest paint stripper they have. Usally a spready such as a putty knife, and spread it around, and let it begine to peel off. Wipe everything down and take a dye ginder or equivalent, such as a electric drill with a wire well on the end, and start scuffing! After its all down to bare metal, do a sand with 500 grit sandpaper, and apply a nice coat od clear froma spray can. Let it dry, than do about 3-4 coats of primer, than finish off with black or red oxide (i did mine that color it looks good) If you dont want to pull everything off the car, just tape it off and do a quike clean up to the underside
