Undercoating getting done as I type... Not sure if it really helps - I think with today's technologies they have come along way with regards to coating all that stuff underneath... Then again - peace of mind is always nice!

Sounds like a great idea. What does the undercoating look like when done? Clear, textured? I'm curious as I would like to repel as much rust as possible from the frame.

Thanks Jax... The short answer... it is not pretty - it is course, black and smelly... but, i am not too concerned about the underneath as it doesn't have to look too clean for me (sorry Hummbob!)... Beach

NEW UPDATE: It seems there is some "scaling" underneath.. it is taking them a bit longer to clean and prep it before the coating... The good news, a friend of the family owns the body shop, so not only will it not cost more but I trust the work... the bad news... I wonder what was scaling... Will post when I find out more and also if this is common... probably to New England (where I am from) due to the salt and messy roads..

Looks GOOD!!!

jaxtrip -> RE: Getting undercoat done Monday... (9/25/2007 2:01:15 PM)
Looks great! I'm going to need to seriously consider this now. How much should I expect to pay for this type of treatment? Again, awsome idea, and it came out killer!

Undercoating has come a long way.... it was the cause of my Bronco frame rusting out....

HAHA - yeah, i had some undercoating issues with one of my old Jeeps (86)... I really do think it has come along way, seriously. As far as cost, it took him 5 hours to remove all the rust and to actually do the coating didnt take much time... cost me 250, but i definitley fell i did alright with price... it was 250 before they had so much scaling to clean up... so he stuck to the price.. Side note - when to a Nissan dealer with a buddy who is checking out a truck (i know i know)... anyway ALL the new trucks had the undercoat done, maybe be a New England thing now...
