Finned friends,
Undercoating was an dealer-applied option, as far as I know. Seam
sealer was applied generously at the factory to cover up less-than-perfect
welds. What I have done on my project is to chemically strip all coatings
and paint from everywhere under the car I could reach. Then I applied
Hammerite spray or brush-on paint using the appropriate colors...black for
frame, grey everywhere else (this is a 59 Plymouth). I do not want to use
undercoating on my car. I will not be driving it in the snow or (god
forbid!) salt.
Any dirt, chips, or whatever that occur will be readily apparent with this
treatment, and easily repairable....and I will avoid the
covering-up-of-problems effect of undercoating. Undercoating reminds me of
aluminum/vinyl siding...covers up the problems, but doesn't cure them! How
many of you have peeling undercoating on your car floors, with rust showing
underneath?
