rubberized undercoating
rubberized undercoating - anyone tried it yet? how does it work? I would like to do this on the frame, but want it to look good b/c my truck is lifted and the wheel wells show and are rusty right now, I want it to be a clean slick looking job, but paint keeps rusting off it

Hey, well I have undercoated my truck with a brand something that sounds like permatex or something like that its undercoating in a can, and I usually use about 4 per truck. It looks pretty good at first(make sure you let it dry fully) but over time you might want to touch it up because with rain/mud/snow debris it can turn more of a brown/faded color. But I spray on anything that is not plastic under the fenders, and all along the frame rails. On the black plastic you can use tire shine and that makes it look pretty shiny...hope this helps

Thanks, the turning a brown color after a while is what I was worried about. I don't want to have to keep spraying over it every time I wash my truck to make it look good agian, at that rate I would have a million inches of that stuff piled up! I wash my truck every Saturday morning, and want it to keep looking good with out having to respray it.

I've known guys who like to keep the underside as clean and pretty as possible. One guy used POR-15. It looked OK, but like anything else will fade over time.
One guy used rattle-can flat black rust cover paint. Every year he picks up a couple of cans and touches up the vehicle. It seems to have lasted the longest.
