Default Classic arches, underseal options

Hi guys basically I've got a very clean classic RA. The underside has been black underseeled really well, but the arches are not the best and are patchy.

So today I stripped it off and my arches are split mint. I'm looking for something to replace it with that is white like the car.
So what can I get that protects well that's either perfect white or paintable??
I must stress I'm only doing under my arches.
An I right in thinking "stone chip" is that kinda soft stuff ??


Cheers joe

I used hammerite underseal on mine but that doesnt meet your requirements.

On the rear arches they rust from the inside as well, you need to get inside them through the boot and prep/paint as much as you can.

I'm a great fan of the stuff sold by this firm:

www.bilthamber.com

If it managed to protect my old Opel Manta for the last seven years, there must be something to be said for it. The Electrox primer is really good stuff to use once you've removed the rust (I used the Deox-C gel for that).

And no, I've no connection with them except as a customer.
