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..
