Amantha_Puththa · Combating rust and monsoon humidity on local Defenders

Hey everyone,

With the heavy monsoon rains hitting lately, I wanted to open a quick discussion on how everyone is protecting their chassis and body panels from rust. Given our tropical climate and coastal air in parts of the island, bulkhead rust and floorboard corrosion seem like constant battles.

Are you guys using traditional underbody bitumen coating, modern epoxy paints, or getting cavity wax sprayed into the chassis? Would love to hear what products work best here in Sri Lanka and any reliable workshops you trust for chassis anti-rust treatments around Colombo or the suburbs.
