My two cents. :). I hear a lot about how undercoating destroys cars. And yes when it’s not installed or used properly it sure can. Just like paint. If I would have tried to seal and paint over an improperly prepped, wet or rusty metal it would be disaster. It’s designed to be sprayed on flat Sheetmetal. Not frames, suspension components, wiring, plumbing, ect. Properly prepped sheet metal is completely cleaned, prepped, completely primed and then sealed. The undercoating is A protective layer that is similar to what a paint on and undercarriage is. Other then it has sound and chip resistant qualities. I like the chip resistance of it. Chip resistance means resistant to bare metal exposure which can lead to rust and moisture getting behind it. Especially if this car ever experienced an area they use salt on a road. Which around here we have no problems with. I would never consider coating a vehicle unless it was completely torn apart, prepped properly and done in a controlled environment. There are coating companies you see up north and back East where they use salt that are destroying cars in my opinion. Covering rust will lock the moisture/salt in and let it eat away at your ride. In a daily driven car where they use salt on the roads your better to just wash your undercarriage routinely and use a water displacement product like wd 40 or fluid film.
I would first like to thank you for your videos, they are very helpful. I have 2 questions though. #1 Where did you buy the spraying nozzle for the 3M undercoating? #2 Did you use lizard coating sound deadening underneath on top of the undercoating as well? I hope I hear from you soon, THANKS
if you buy 3-m stuff on Amazon there should be some good options as a reference you can look up. Most 3-m undercoat guns are the same. It’s more about pickup tube length and bottle neck size. I only did lizard skin on the inside. Not sure I would personally use it underneath the car. Even though they say you can. It’s a water based product and I’m just old school I guess But never use it on bare metal.
@@JakesShop I will never do this again it's getting hard to find people to do good work and stand by it, and now everything is out of stock. Thank God I'm at the resemblely portion of the build.
BeatySlayZ I don’t completely disagree. However. Moisture can get behind paint as well that isn’t installed properly. I like the chip resistance, look and sound deadening quality of this undercoating. Also commented on main thread to clarify and appreciate your comment.
You're forgetting the things such as the primer(not some cheap rattle can), seam sealer, and most important, the preparations that were performed between the body and coating.

Really looks good Still dont know what i want to to do for my 68 Chevelle thanks for the video
I'm getting ready to spray my 74 Trans Am using the same product but I'm only spraying selected areas. How has it held up, any problem with peeling?
It all depends on the look your after for the most part. And how long your hose is. I set mine about 55 at the wall if I remember correctly.

I really thank you for replying I'm at the end of a frame off restoration on my 1970 chevelle, Indianapolis
Sounds like a cool project.

how many litres did it take to spray the under body
Took about 3 But all depends on the coverage you want.
How did left the car like thath
Built a custom hack job rotisserie to get it spun over like that. Check out other videos on the channel and you’ll see
No to rubberized, yes to wax based!
Danny Mason woah that’s a new one for me. Will defiantly need to check it out
Rubberized coating will literally destroy your car it traps moisture between the coating and the body

If you don't know what you're doing, it will. My 89 daytona had a ton of rust but none under the factory wheel well undercoating.
