Just use any ole can of black spray paint industrial black.

You're painting the rear? 'as the front are plastic guards where you can just jack up and give it a wash?

i was using the high pressure cleaner the other day and was spraying hard into the front right hand tyre arch and some of the black came off and it was a silver underneath. So i thought is it worth taking all four tyres off and cleaning it all and painting it black again.

Prob just as easy to get some chassis black/industrial black in an can and spray as needed.

If you really want to get in there and clean everything out I'd suggest getting some under body shultz 'which will require a special type spray gun and a compressor', and reprime it 'this will also rust proof it as it is a thick liquid'.

You can paint this stuff on as well, just depends on how even you want the finish 'it wont be disastrously uneven just the typical hand paint v spray finish 'which you will be able to even out as it dries'.

Depending on the thickness of the schultz chosen you may have to thin it out a little 'with thinners/petrol'.

Note: Using schultz will definitely be an on the grass job as its a nightmare to clean off your hands let alone brickwork/concrete etc
