What kind of paint did you use on the underside of the unibody?

car stipped right back to bare metal incl the underside

on the chassis and engine bay i have the following

epoxymastic 121 (its a super thick durable epoxy chassis paint)
over that i have 2 coats of stonechip shield (its overpaintiable and has a rubbery finish but smooth)
over that is 2 coats of high build 2k primer.
2 coats of flint black pearl basecoat
and 2 cats of 2k clear (urathane you guys call it)

shell was done pretty much the same way (used custom epoxy which is a normal epoxy primer ) over that 3-4 coats of 2k high build. same with the inside. yet to flat off the outside but start that this week
