Yep, the kid took his time and was really conscientious about getting everything sprayed. There is a little overspray on the inside of the wheels, but no big deal; I'll clean them up on Saturday. I've never had a vehicle undercoated before, so it was interesting to watch the whole process.

Was that at the DEALERSHIP??? Cause I had mine done at the dealer, and within 6 months...It looked like CRAP again!

I had to look around to find someone who still undercoated in south Texas; undercoaters were on every corner 20 years ago. I used a spray-on liner distributor for Rhino Linings. Sorry to hear you were disappointed with your dealer's undercoating, hopefully I'll have better luck.

I was looking at your picture and noticed that the pan has no coating on it at all. Did it evaporate? I'd ask the dealer to explain how this could happen.

I had rust like this all over my rear drivetrain. I had the Dealer do "UnderCoating" and RustProofing" when i bought my Rig so naturally I complained. They said this is NORMAL!!! NORMAL???

I cleaned it all up and sprayed it with Rustoleum. Looks better than it did NEW Only took 1 hour!!

Superb job, got to get under my Hummer!

I just found your member gallery, GREAT looking H2. Also, let us know what your dealer has to say about the undercoating.

I gotta get under mine too. All the salt the put on the roads in the winter here is not a good thing. Don't have much rust yet, but I know I will if I don't do something now

Can i ask how did u clean up the rust before you sprayed the undercoating? Did you get under there and scrub it w a solution or anything special, and what spray did u use, how long is thr dry time and do i need to be cautious for certain parts underneath?

Thanks

I grew up in Canada so I know ALL about undercoating. I don't even know where you'd get it done in Atlanta...heck, I don't think anybody here even knows what undercoating is. Back in the day it was my Dad's annual ritual.

I think undercoating is always a good idea. My current vehicle (Nissan Pathfinder...meh) has two rusted-out running boards. Not sure if undercoating would have prevented that, but it would have helped.

Mine was Undercoated when it was new back in 02. My undercarriage still looks brand new. Just like YeeHaw's. If you touch it is got a tough wax feel to it.
